Early Intervention in the Infant Toddler Classroom

Description

If you are employed in a state that uses a registry to track professional development hours, you will be able to provide your registry ID (Stars, MOPID, Registry or other ECE ID#) after you have completed the quiz for the course. If you pass the quiz we will report your course completion to the state registry using the registry ID that you provide.
This course elaborates on topics specifically for infants and toddlers related to typical and atypical challenging behaviors, understanding developmental “red flags”, observations, connecting with and partnering with families, and goal setting in the classroom! Course length – 4.5 hours.
