Course Description

Cognition, language and behavior are central elements of the human experience. Development in these areas begins shortly after conception and continues through the first two decades of life. Children's development usually follows a known and predictable course. In a sizable minority of cases, development goes awry, either before or shortly after birth, leading to a range of challenges and disorders in cognition, language and behavior. This course explores the etiology and presentation of disordered cognition, language and behavior resulting from developmental impairments. Vulnerabilities associated with prenatal, perinatal, infancy, childhood and adolescent stages will be analyzed. Students will be familiarized with contemporary research on the defining characteristics, associated features, possible causes, and current approaches to intervention and prevention for a wide range of issues associated with atypical development in cognition, language and behavior.
