The course aims to enable students to apply their knowledge of the motor, cognitive, social-emotional, and language development characteristics of children aged 0–6 years in practice and to develop analytical and synthesis skills regarding these developmental characteristics. Using this knowledge base, students are expected to gain the ability to recognize developmental delays that may be encountered in this age group and to implement appropriate interventions. Furthermore, the course aims to equip students with the skills necessary to provide appropriate consultation and guidance to families, relevant professionals, and institutions/organizations on issues related to child development and developmental support.
