This CEU program consists of 4 streaming videos . Applicable to the birth to three population.
The Acquisition of Speech & Language in the First Year of Life
Presented by Merry M. Meek, M.S., CCC-SLP, Advanced NDT Speech Instructor. This video discusses and demonstrates the normal acquisition of speech and language through the first year of life. Babies at various months of age are observed during play and interaction with their parents and or siblings as they develop communication skills through the developing emergence of sound and word production.
The Acquisition of Speech & Language in theSecond Year of Life
Presented by Merry M. Meek, M.S., CCC-SLP, Advanced NDT Speech Instructor. This video discusses and demonstrates the normal acquisition of speech and language in the second year of life. Infants at various ages are observed during play and interaction with their parents and siblings as they develop communication skills.
The Normal Acquisition of Skill in the First Year of Life
Presented by W. Michael Magrun, M.S., OTR/L. Development is a multidimensional process. Movement develops through the ability of the infant to adapt to gravity, control weight distribution, and develop postural control. Thinking of development in terms of milestones does not provide understanding of movement components, transitional movement patterns, or the multi-layered nature of development. This video explores the process by which infants gain control against gravity in the first year of life and emphasizes critical competencies in supine, prone, sitting, and upright control that are essential for skill acquisition.
Normal and Abnormal Development: A Comparative Analysis
Presented by W. Michael Magrun, M.S., OTR/L. This video presents an analysis of normal developmental competencies contrasted with abnormal compensatory motor patterns. Normal development of critical competencies are compared and contrasted with abnormal motor development. The significance and impact of abnormal motor compensation on the development of independent function is discussed, along with implications for intervention.
