Early Intervention
Early Intervention Description
You love to work with very young children, especially those who are having some trouble learning to walk, to talk, and to play with their peers. You care about the plight of young children whose life circumstances place them at risk, and you care enough to want to contribute to their well being. All you need is the experience and preparation to make it happen. All you need is Northeastern University's Certificate Program in Early Intervention (EI).
http://www.bouve.neu.edu/programs/counselearly/home.php
The Northeastern Program
- Prepares you to serve infants and toddlers with disabilities and their families
- Provides team-based interdisciplinary learning in the classroom and in the field.
- Prepares you to provide services in culturally and linguistically diverse communities
- Prepares you to develop individualized family service plans, which emphasize designing services that include the family. Your efforts will impact a child's development in the context of the child's family
- Provides you with provisional certification as an Early Intervention Specialist in Massachusetts, which is required of personnel in Early Intervention
The program is funded with a grant from the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs. During the five-year funding period, tuition will be provided for approximately fifteen students per year, with special attention to students from diverse and underrepresented backgrounds.
You may pursue the EI specialization as an independent certificate program, or integrate it into a graduate degree program in speech-language pathology and audiology, school psychology, counseling psychology, physical therapy, special education, or nursing.
Northeastern is the only approved program in Massachusetts that is interdisciplinary in its faculty, students, and curriculum. Courses are team-taught by faculty from school counseling, developmental psychology, speech language pathology and audiology, physical therapy, special/education, and nursing so that you experience the team approach that is the day-to-day norm in the field. Northeastern will help you develop your teamwork skills in preparation for being an EI professional.
If you are ready for a gratifying and challenging learning experience, Northeastern University's Early Intervention Certificate Program is your next step.
