Course Summary
This course will examine the impact of screen time on early child development to guide pediatric therapists and educators as we live and work in the “digital age.” Infants, toddlers, and preschool-age children do not learn the same way that older children and adults learn. Yet, young children are spending more and more time in front of a screen and less time playing and interacting with others. It’s not just a matter of being “pro-technology” or “anti-technology,” but rather, what is appropriate and necessary for young children with developing brains and bodies. Participants will gain powerful evidence-based information regarding best practices for using technology in therapy and in the early childhood classroom as well as how to share information with parents regarding establishing healthy screen time habits at home.
