HHS 201 - Interprofessional Perspectives on Play and Development

This course interprofessionally examines whole-child development across the early years (birth - early school age) with recognition of individual and cultural differences. The value, stages, and therapeutic uses of play within caregiving relationships and naturalistic environments serve as the foundation of the course. Children’s social-emotional development, developmentally appropriate play practices, early learning and literacy experiences, motor development (fine and gross), and sensory development (including feeding and nutrition) are explored in the context of play-based interactions.
