Seminar Description
Young children communicate, learn, and express themselves through their movements and senses—and in this seminar, parents, caregivers, and professionals will learn to relate to children on this nonverbal level. Dr. Suzi Tortora reveals how to use the language of movement and the senses to connect with young children and stimulate their social, emotional, cognitive, communicative, and physical development.
This seminar provides useful information and hands-on experiences for working with young children with or without special needs and their families. Participants
- learn about Dr. Tortora's Ways of Seeing program
- explore the expressive quality of infants' and young children's nonverbal cues
- discover the importance of nonverbal communication and touch in the dyadic interaction.
Through lecture, video, worksheets, and experiential activities, participants discover how to support young children's movement explorations through music, dance, and play. These activities are discussed from a developmental perspective, along the spectrum from typical to atypical development, with a focus on enhancing primary attachment relationships and overall growth. Participants will also examine how these activities can be used with children and families in group, dyadic, and individual therapy, as well as in child care, early education, and intervention settings.
