Identifying and Responding to Developmental Delay in Young Children

Overview of the Course Structure

Module 1: Introduction

Module 2: Developmental Screening and Surveillance

This module will present the developmental surveillance and screening protocol recommended by the American Academy Pediatrics. Case-based learning will guide the learner through realistic case-based scenarios and prepare them to implement a surveillance and screening protocol in their work setting. The modules guide the learner through the process of selecting and using developmental screeners that are widely available in the community.

Module 3: Early Intervention - IDEA Part C

This module will immerse the learner in the world of Early Intervention. This module will examine the Early Intervention process after a referral has been placed. Through live interviews with Early Intervention providers and parents, screencasts, and videos, we will review how to communicate with families about Early Intervention services, how the Early Intervention process unfolds, and how to read an Individualized Family Service Plan.
