This course is for anyone who is involved in the
assessment and intervention of young children -- parents, family
members, caregivers, interventionists, educators, therapists, and
healthcare professionals.
Content of this online course will include an introduction to the
Performance Competence Framework (PC Framework) which is a new model
of assessment that focuses on a holistic view of the child within
the context of personal characteristics, preferences, environments,
family and culture. The Framework provides shared windows through
which family members and professionals from various disciplines may
look in assessing or providing services to young children. The
shared windows encourage the identification of critical factors that
support and compromise a child’s performance.
Participants will learn to:
- use technology involved in completing an online course;
- apply the basic principles of the PC Framework and qualitative
assessment;
- describe the neurophysiological and behavioral correlates of
the sensory processing system;
- explain the comfort, safety, confidence and risk cycle;
- apply the basic tenants of family-centered practice;
- apply effective communication techniques with families; and
- demonstrate the ability to work as a team member with shared
perspectives.
