Course Information

The developmental therapy major is designed for students interested in child development, early intervention, and a career path in developmental therapy.  This concentration of the early childhood education program prepares a student to become a certified developmental therapist.

Program Highlights

Students in this program receive a broad background in early childhood education, training in instructional methods and assessment strategies for young children, theory and practice concerning school, teaching, and learning in professional education courses, an understanding of the needs of young children with special needs, and strategies for working with families whose first language is not English.

Field Experience

In their senior year, developmental therapy students take a capstone course that includes a seminar and an internship in developmental therapy. Once students have completed the curriculum, they receive the degree necessary to become a credentialed developmental therapist through the Illinois Early Intervention Program.
