Introduction
Welcome to the course! Here we will explore everything you need to know to have effective and fun sessions with the child(ren) you're working with as a tutor. In this first section we'll look at the big picture and long-term effects that we are hoping to have by conducting these sessions. Afterwards we're going to explore some background information that is useful for us to know about children's development, special educational needs and disabilities that we might encounter, and ways to support the children we work with in developing their skills. Throughout the course, you'll find clickable links that'll take you to research papers, articles, websites, etc. for you to learn more about certain topics!

Typical Development
To conduct successful SEL sessions, it's crucial to have a solid understanding of typical child development, which is the main focus of this section. What is Typical Development? Typical development refers to a child's progression in the absence of special educational needs or disabilities, encompassing physical, social, speech and language, cognitive, and other developmental areas. For further insights, you can explore a mini-course on Early Childhood Development offered by Harvard University's Center on the Developing Child at the following link: https://developingchild.harvard.edu/guide/what-is-early-childhood-development-a-guide-to-the-science/

Common Special Educational Needs and Key Concepts
Atypical development refers to a difference in the pattern or speed of a child's development, i.e. not following a typical development trajectory. This can be in any area such as speech/language development, motor development, cognitive development, social development, etc. and can have many different causes. Within this section, we will cover some important concepts regarding atypical development as well as the common developmental disorders that we often work with in order for you to have an understanding of the possible difficulties/disorders the child you work with might have.

Supporting Children Using SEL Instructions
In this section we will go over a few practical strategies that can be useful for most of the children you may work with!

Bringing It All Together
A key takeaway from this course is: a child is a child, regardless of the special educational need/disability they have. This means that, while we do need to change what we work on with a child depending on their strengths and weaknesses, most children will benefit from a few important things. We need to include the following in ALL our sessions to the extent that we are able to do so (excluding academic support).
