EARLY INTERVENTION IN NATURAL ENVIRONMENTS

Catalog description

This seminar targets early childhood special education and intervention professionals that comprise the field of early intervention from practitioners to future leaders in the field. Recommended practice guidelines of the Division for Early Childhood (DEC) indicate that interventions should be embedded and distributed within and across the routines, activities and places that are part of the child’s daily experience. In keeping with DEC recommendations, this course will explore issues related to the various natural environments of the children in search of the routines, activities and places that offer the maximum learning and practice opportunities that are family centered, developmentally and individually appropriate, culturally sensitive and least intrusive.
