This eLearning course is a series of 12 modules, each 45-60 min. in length, providing HealthySteps Specialists with discrete knowledge, skills, and resources appropriate for use during each of the 12 well-child visits scheduled for babies: newborn through 36 months of age.
Each module includes the following segments:
- Building the Relationship: tips for building a trusting, supportive relationship with caregivers
- Typical Development: developmental milestones and characteristics at this age; tips for supporting development
- Video Observations: two brief videos to practice observational skills
- Anticipatory Guidance: topics that are particularly relevant for caregivers of children at this age
- What the Caregiver Brings: circumstances that may impact parenting, including caregivers’ mental health and social determinants of health
- Gathering Information: recommended screenings and observations of child and caregiver-child dyad for each visit
The modules can be taken in any order and can be retaken as desired.
Learning Objectives:
- Identify developmental milestones to look for at each well-child visit.
- Describe anticipatory guidance on topics appropriate for the age of the child.
- Gain and apply knowledge about social determinants of health, caregiver mental health, and other health and risk factors that may affect the well-being of families the HealthySteps Specialist works with.
- Identify recommended screenings and observations (child and dyad) for each of the twelve well-child visits.
