Course description
With a strong foundation in the theory and science of child development, Child Life Specialists promote effective coping for children experiencing the stress and uncertainty of illness, injury, disability, and hospitalization.

This course will provide an overview of developmental theories as they apply to children and adolescents experiencing illness and injury in healthcare. Child Life preparation, relaxation interventions, and patient support practices for ill children will be examined.
