IECD-522 Sensory-Motor Development4 semester credits
This course provides students with basic background information on the history, neuroscience foundations, the different developmental models and theoretical constructs involved in understanding gross and fine motor development, as well as the sensory processing mechanisms that occur during infancy and early childhood. The course combines lectures, reading materials and videotaped examples to achieve its learning objectives.
Delivery Method: Online
Grading Default: Letter
Learning Outcome(s):
Students successfully completing this course will be able to:
- Discuss and analyze major theories of motor and perceptual development with reference to normal development and intervention for children with challenges.
- Discuss intervention theories and their underlying assumptions.
- Assess and make explicit their own assumptions underlying clinical judgment and intervention in motor and perceptual development or the influence of perceptual development on their own area of clinical expertise.
- Discuss 10 “general developmental issues that are broadly relevant to developmental science” (Adolph & Robinson, 2015) and their influence in clinical populations.
