Infants-Toddlers-EI 1 is the second of two clinically-based modules emphasizing specialized knowledge and skills for working with children from birth to age three in early intervention (EI) and EHS (Early Head Start) settings. This course includes intensive clinical experiences in EI with infants and toddlers with special needs and their families, and is designed to complement Infants-Toddlers-EI 1 (Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) with Infants/Toddlers and their Families) in preparing future teachers to fill the role of an effective early interventionist and infant/toddler specialist.
Prerequisites: TLSC 210, TLSC 221, and TLSC 222 (Minimum of "C" grade); Co-requisite: 250, 252, 253; Restricted to ECSE-BSED.
Outcomes: As a result of this experience which (like I-T-EI 1) includes components related to assessment, intervention, diverse families, and infant/toddler development, students will develop their skills in working directly with families in designing assessment systems and interventions for infants and toddlers with special needs that address family resources, priorities, and needs.
