SLP 410 - Basics of Early Intervention

This course requires three units of study that are essential to training professionals who are competent to work in early intervention (birth-5yrs) clinical settings. The first unit prepares students to administer speech and language screenings, analyze results from speech and language screenings, and make appropriate referrals when a child does not pass a screening. The second unit provides students with knowledge and understanding of assessments that are commonly used to evaluate speech and language skills in children from birth to six years of age. The third unit prepares students to shape the behavior of a child during therapy sessions and provide parent education and coaching in the early intervention clinical setting.
