IECD-601 Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationships (DIR®): Intervention 14 semester credits
The focus of this course is on developmental and relational models of development and infant mental health and theory. Caregiver/child and lifespan relationships (e.g., home, school, work, community) will be emphasized. This course provides an opportunity to integrate and apply the Functional Emotional Developmental Capacities, FEDCs 1-9, with an emphasis on FEDCs 1-4 of the DIR model. Conceptual and theoretical constructs to current practice and/or professional experiences will be explored. Part of the process for growing and learning is appreciating the developmental process of breaks and repairs of connection and developing ongoing support for problem solving and planning (Tronick 2007). This course involves discussion of students’ experiences and includes integration of reading materials and video clips to achieve course learning objectives. Students will explore key concepts related to the developmental individual relationship- based approach by analyzing videos from the instructor and students’ clinical work, family members, and Youtube.
