This course will examine issues related to planning, designing, and implementing developmentally appropriate intervention practices and individualized services and support for young children (0-6) with disabilities or developmental delays, and for their families. We will develop an Individual Family Service Plan (known in Vermont as the “One Plan”) for children from the age of infancy to three years, and an Individualized Education Plan (IEP) for children three- to six-years-old.
We will learn how to use embedded learning opportunities and how to develop appropriate accommodations. Also, we will design strategies to look at ongoing progress monitoring and data collection for child outcomes. Discussions will center on the research and practical implications for play-based, child-centered, and inclusive learning approaches.
