Great topic introduction! There definitely is so much more information to soak in, especially for early intervention. These kiddos are the future and understanding how important caregiver roles are for shaping their mindset is so correlative to how a child develops.

This is so needed right now as I see SO many referrals for "sensory issues" that are really just mental health issues. Even as an OT it's sometimes hard to know the difference and feel confident when other team members are saying it's sensory. Thanks!

I feel the topic of this course is so important in todays social climate that I highly reccomend this clas for all pediatric OT's. The time to catch and make a difference in mental health is early in life I feel. This talk discusses the various differents parent attatchements in children, identifies concerning behaviors of young children and shows and how OT's can strengthen social emotional development. OT's can make a big difference in children's mental health with the right tools.

Wish the speaker elaborated more rather than basically reading the slides, or it was a longer course to allow for including intervention. A good introduction to infant and early childhood mental health, and appreciated the passion for social emotional health and executive functioning in this young population though!

OTR/L, Jessica McMurdie, did an excellent job of having us as OT's recognize the early warning signs of mental health concerns in infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. We got to learn about early brain development, attachment theory, and OT's roles supporting children and their caregivers. 9.5%-14.2% of children this age encounter emotional, relational, or behavioral disturbances. That's a large % dealing with these issues than can have an impact on a child's future development & well-being.
