The Global Child Outcomes module is designed to help ECI service providers:
- Understand the three global child outcomes
- Assess children for functional skills associated with each outcome
- Accurately assign and document ratings for each outcome
The module is designed with the learner’s needs in mind. Key features include:
- Learning objectives that integrate knowledge with on-the-job skills
- Frequent opportunities for review/recall and guided practice in realistic scenarios
- Input from program personnel to ensure relevance and increase learning transfer
The module culminates with the opportunity to conduct a complete child outcomes summary process. Given detailed information about a child from multiple sources, staff are challenged to assign ratings, explain the ratings to parents, and accurately complete the child outcomes summary form.
