MDE 8415 Child Development and Behavior
Credit Hours: var.
The goal of this elective is to familiarize the student with the clinical aspects of child development. Participating in patient evaluations via observation & direct contact & interacting with various members of a multidisciplinary team will facilitate an understanding of the diversity of the field. Students will learn to administer basic screening tests & to assess the many aspects of development, which contribute to diagnosis and intervention. In addition to “hands-on” training, weekly didactics will provide teaching in the basic areas of normal, delayed, and disordered child development, including neurological & genetic disorders, intellectual disability, autism, & specific learning disabilities. This elective incorporates a wide variety of clinic environments, with exposure to NICU follow-up, age birth-3 early intervention program, & the school-age population. The objectives of this elective can be met via a research track, a clinical track, or a literature review/writing track.
