School Health for Children and Adolescents specialization
Regardless of where they reside on the planet, children and adolescents spend a significant amount of time in school. In the educational context, where excellent health and healthy behaviors create the ideal conditions for kids' academic achievement, health and learning are inextricably linked. On the other hand, poor health and harmful habits provide significant hurdles to student learning.
This specialization's courses are meant to prepare students to treat common health issues such as asthma, allergies, diabetes, and seizures. They'll next learn how to deal with typical behavioral issues like ADHD and autism, as well as learning difficulties and concussions. Learners will be ready to utilize newly gained abilities in the provision of social, emotional, behavioral, and special education services after completing the specialty. They will also be prepared to encourage healthy habits in their local school community, such as diet, physical exercise, and community and family engagement.
Learners who complete this specialization will gain knowledge of various aspects of the school health program, including health education, physical education, health services, nutrition services, counseling, psychological, and social services, a healthy and safe school environment, and last but not least, family and community involvement.
