Wired Kids: How Technology Impacts Early Child Development

Description

This one-day seminar examines the evidence to guide therapists, educators and other early childhood professionals as we live and work in the digital age. Just because technology is available at our fingertips, doesn't necessarily mean we should be using it with very young children. Infants, toddlers and preschool age children do not learn the same way that older children and adults learn. It's not just a matter of being "pro-technology" or "anti-technology" but rather what is appropriate for young children with developing brains and bodies. We will examine the factors necessary for healthy development as we contrast the virtual playground with the traditional playground. Throughout this course, professionals will gain powerful evidence-based information regarding best practices for using technology in therapy and in early childhood classrooms. This seminar contains must-have information for providers serving the birth to five population.
