Graduate Certificate in Early Childhood Disability Support

Extend your understanding of early childhood disability support and education in this dynamic graduate certificate course.

Explore the constructs of holistic child development, focusing on young childrens' development in the context of their family/carers and early childhood settings.

Learn about different communication skills and strategies to promote language as well as augmentative and alternative communication systems. Increase your knowledge of childrens' social and emotional development and positive behaviour support and explore collaborative, family-centred and inter-disciplinary approaches to early intervention, within the context of early childhood education and care.
