The course of study for working with children and their parents is divided into developmental stages: first year: infancy and early childhood, second: middle childhood, and third: adolescence. Weekly one hour and a half seminars for 10 weeks each for three semesters. The first two semesters are clinical curriculum and the third semester is a case conference. All classes are currently held on-line.
