Inclusive Intervention in Early Childhood Care

Inclusive Intervention in Early Childhood Care is a one-year specialization AEC program that is aimed at Early Childhood Educators who have already obtained an AEC or a DEC in Early Childhood Education and are employed in this field (daycares, early childhood centers, garderies).

This training program allows graduates to be able to observe, detect and develop techniques and skills that meet the special needs of children in a childcare setting in order to promote their inclusion.

These educators will be able to analyze and evaluate the problems of the child (0-12 years of age) in difficulty with their family and their environment, develop an appropriate intervention plan and carry out individual or group interventions or refer the client to professional services in the health network.

These activities are based on everyday situations to improve communication and each dimension of the life of the child in difficulty (emotional, social, cognitive, verbal, psychomotor, moral, etc.
