    Description
    This course will focus on evaluation of typical and atypical motor skill development, planning and implementation of perceptual motor and movement activities appropriate for young children. Emphasis will be placed on the role of the physical and psychomotor domain in the total development of the young child. Developmental motor activities will be examined that aid children in acquiring movement abilities and fitness, as well as facilitate social interaction and cognitive development. Participants will develop movement experiences for use in the early childhood classroom and in the planning of a motor development curriculum.
