Applied Toddler Development: Special Considerations, Siblings, and Transition to Preschool

Applied toddler development integrates special considerations and supports the transition into preschool. This applied course teaches structured approaches through case-based modules. By the end of this course you will be able to navigate special considerations including identified developmental concerns, support older or younger siblings, plan the transition into preschool, and coordinate with childcare. What you will learn: - Approaches to identified developmental concerns including early intervention - Approaches to toddlers with chronic conditions including how development considerations adapt - Approaches to supporting older and younger siblings during toddlerhood - Approaches to coordinating with childcare on developmental goals - Approaches to the transition into preschool including separation - Approaches to handling developmental surprises mid-year - Approaches to sustaining your own well-being through these years The course is structured around six applied modules. Each produces a written artifact: a special considerations plan, a chronic conditions framework, a siblings approach, a childcare coordination plan, a preschool transition plan, and a long-arc reflection. This course is written for parents across the toddler arc. The course is informational and does not substitute for pediatric medical care. By the end you will have moved from week-by-week awareness to a sustained, considered approach.
