To enhance your skills as an infant professional, you will conduct research on an infant and family throughout this semester. You will gather information about the infant and their family, then apply what you have learned from class to paint a picture of the baby and the family. Instead of a final exam, you’ll write a Commentary Paper about a child in the context of their family and culture. You will complete the Infant/ Family Case Study in five stages:
- Initial Contact with the Family of an Infant Report
- Interview with a Family of an Infant Paper
- Observation of an Infant Paper
- Commentary Paper, Draft
- Commentary Paper, Final Paper
