• Unit 8 Synopsis and Checklist

Topic 3 Course Description:
3 Clock Hours
CDA Settings:

• Infant/Toddler
• Preschool
• Family Child Care (Mixed-Age)

Infants babble and coo, toddlers point and mimic, preschoolers create their own words and school-agers build their vocabulary. Children communicate in various ways and develop language at different rates. This course will present typical language development milestones from birth to preschool-aged children. Included are examples for each developmental stage, situations to be analyzed, peer discussion boards, and video presentations. ​

Learning Outcomes:

• Conduct an experiment proving the physical force of voice
• Compare the results of an experiment regarding the difference between speech and voice
• Reflect on personal methods of documenting speech or language development
• Reflect on past and future interactions with children where speech development is concerned
• Analyze hypothetical scenarios for speech and language development
• Explain the need for objective observations when documenting development
• State why observational data should be recorded over a range of dates, times, and locations
