ED 240 - Infant-Toddler Assessments and Working with Families


Credit(s): 3
The twin focus of this course will be assessment of very young children and methods of support for family relationships with parents, infants, and toddlers. Students will gain experience with the Touchpoints model of working with infants, toddlers, and their parents, originally developed by Dr. T. Berry Brazelton of Harvard’s Children’s Hospital. Students will learn to administer the Hawaii Early Learning Profile 0-3 (HELP), and observe neonatal assessments using the Newborn Behavioral Observation System. Evaluated work will include a reflective journal and a supervised HELP assessment. This class may be an interesting elective for students in education, nursing, or psychology, and will be especially helpful for Early Childhood Education majors who wish to earn a Developmental Therapy Credential. Concurrent enrollment required in ED 202 , ED 232 , and ED240 as part of Sophomore Block.
