Exploring Children's Love of Movement from typical
to atypical development
Through lecture, video, and experience, participants will learn how to support the young child's natural movement explorations, using music, movement, and dance. These activities will be discussed within a developmental perspective, focusing on enhancing the parent-infant relationship as well as the infant's overall emotional, social, cognitive, communicative, and physical growth.
