Course Description

This course expands the learning from the introduction course into a deeper understanding of trauma informed care and continues with the impact of sensory and mobility challenges onto the physiological and sociological effects of the abuse of alcohol, narcotics, and drugs and the use of tobacco. With a focus on inclusive practices, candidates will further expand their learning of strategies for  accommodations and modifications for working with children with serious medical issues as well as working with families. Course content includes a deep understanding of the medical and health problems evolving from perinatal developmental risk factors, and/or chronic medical conditions, and the physiological and sociological effects of the abuse of alcohol, narcotics, and drugs and the use of tobacco.  Candidates will understand the medical team functions, interpretation of medical histories; specialized medical equipment; family reactions and coping strategies; and how community resources are addressed. Candidates will learn about the federal, state and local policies regarding working with specialized health care. Extensive Support Needs and ECSE candidates only will complete an additional Deaf-Blindness and Instructional Strategies Module and Discussion Board.
