ED 572G - Child Development and Language Acquisition

Credits: 2
Critical theories and principles of child development will be explored from the physical, cognitive, language, and psychosocial aspects. The development of language and the components of syntax, phonology, morphology, semantics, and pragmatics will be investigated, and through case studies the phases of language development will be closely examined for children learning a first or second language. Current trends in early intervention screening and instruments used to assess children with communication impairments will be discussed as well as the use of augmentative and alternative communication devices. Field experience required.
