Happens in logical stages

and sequences Highly variable Takes place at

its own pace

Its speed cannot be

altered

Requires multiple and

varied experiences

Becomes more complex and

integrated

Early stages remain, even as

later skills are acquired

Early learning is inter-related

with early development

A life-long process

Multi-dimensional

Which of these 10 things regarding early development and learning resonate with you the most?

"Play is an important vehicle for developing self-regulation as well as promoting language, cognition, and social competence… Children of all ages love to play, and it gives them opportunities to explore the world, interact with others, express and control emotions, develop their symbolic and problem-solving abilities, and practice emerging skills. Research shows the links between play and foundational capacities such as memory, self-regulation, oral language abilities, social skills, and success in school.” (NAEYC, 2009, p. 14)

FD Early Intervention Upcoming Event

Through the Early Intervention Training Program at the University of Illinois, providers in Illinois can receive 1.5 hours of Early Intervention credit. Several states other than Illinois have already agreed to recognize CE units from this webinar. They are: Georgia, Kansas, Kentucky, Maryland, North Carolina, Ohio, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia, and for service coordinators in Washington. All participants may receive a certificate of completion from this webinar after completing an evaluation and post-test. This certificate can sometimes be used to apply for CE credits with your credentialing body if you are not an Illinois provider. Links and further information will be available at the end of today’s presentation

Evaluation and CE Credit

• Webinar participants who want to receive a certificate of continuing education (or just want proof of participation in the training) need to take this post-test AND evaluation:

https://vte.co1.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_bK15jwRPqpZNLnf

• CE certificates of completion will be automatically emailed to participants upon completion of the post-test & evaluation.

§ Questions/concerns surrounding CE credit certificates can be emailed to this address: MFLNFDEarlyIntervention@gmail.com § Sometimes state/professional licensure boards recognize CE credits from other states.
