Module 7 Sensory Processing Activity#4: Self-Reflection

At the end of the semester you will determine your grade for ECE 209 based on your self-assessment of what you have learned. In preparation for your self-assessment, answer the questions below; you will answer these questions at the end of each module so you have a record of what you have learned over the semester. You can answer the questions here on Open Lab or create a journal on Blackboard (which would be private).

  • What did you learn in this module?
    • Information/ knowledge
    • Skills
    • Insights (connections you made or “ah-ha’s” you had about the material)
  • How will the material from this module better prepare you to work with infants?

    3. What can infant teachers do to support babies and their sensory processing?
    4. What developmental milestones is this baby demonstrating (social and emotional language/ communication, movement/ physical development, and cognitive)? How?
    5. What sensory information is this baby processing? How?
