Overview
With the significance placed on the first 1,000 days of a child's life, understanding typical infant and child development is essential for anyone working with young children, and especially those interventionists, care workers and professionals working with children that have any form of disability, or special needs and barriers to learning. In this course, we discuss different theories and perspective of childhood development and then move on to discussing the different stages of development from birth up until 3 years old. "This course is a model for training early childhood intervention providers to gain knowledge about families and their children who are deaf or hard of hearing. This is a great step forward in assuring foundational knowledge of those providing family centred care to families with children who are deaf or hard of hearing." - Christine Yoshinaga-Itano

    Course reviews

    • MAP was a great introduction to the commercial side of the business for a health professional like myself. I am now able to identify and leverage synergies between my department and others in the organisation. Because of the diversity and calibre of its students, WBS has helped me increase my network and I have recommended MAP to a number of my colleagues. It was an investment worth more than the rand value of the course – and motivated me to do my MBA!

    • Doing NMP with WBS has provided me with the basic and highly valuable skills as I prepare myself for a leadership role within my organisation. The programme had practical examples which I could relate to my real situation at work.
