Course objectives
The aim of the course is to acquaint students with  intervention in  children with  identifiable risk of speech development and language abilities and children potentially at risk. At the end of the course, the student will know the ways of intervention in   the period of unintentional and intentional communication, will be introduced to  possibilities of evaluation of feeding and oral abilities in different stages of development, and will be able to explain the specifics of therapy in   feeding and oral abilities. In  early speech therapy intervention, students will be introduced to  teaching materials in   the form of video recordings reflecting specific topics: Supporting mother-child communication in the environment of a neonatal ICU or an intermediate care unit; Kangaroo; Evaluation of oral reflexes; Lactation- mom-baby interaction; Alternative ways of feeding; Conditions of the newborn. Students will acquire information about the problems of diagnostics of speech development and language abilities at an early age, will be acquainted with diagnostic tools for evaluation of communication skills at an early age. They will acquire information about the possibilities of stimulation of speech development and language abilities at an early age, acquire effective communication strategies. The student will also be oriented in  the area of evaluation of auditory perception of children of early age and the need for visual support in   the area of functional communication development. The course reflects the current concept of speech therapy intervention focused on children of early age.
