UFSC Expands Enrollment in Free Course on Neuropsychomotor Development
The free course in Neuropsychomotor Development focuses on the first thousand days of a child’s life, a period deemed crucial for healthy growth.
In this context, participants learn about the importance of early childhood and the so-called Comprehensive Care Model, which guides policies and practices for child care.
Additionally, the content addresses what is known as early intervention.
This concept refers to actions taken as early as possible to stimulate child development, taking advantage of the so-called “window of opportunity,” when the brain is most receptive to positive stimuli.
Practical Content and Multidisciplinary Perspective
Among the central themes of the UFSC course are milestones of typical neuropsychomotor development and guidelines for appropriate stimulation at each stage of childhood.
Signs of alert are also presented to assist in the early identification of delays or developmental disorders.
The course also discusses specific situations, such as prematurity, its risk factors, and impacts on child development.
On the other hand, it presents care models aimed at children with disabilities, always with a multi and interdisciplinary approach, valuing integrated work among different health areas.
Free Course in Neuropsychomotor Development is 100% Distance Learning
With a distance learning format, the free course allows flexibility for those working in the intense routine of SUS.
Classes and materials can be accessed online, facilitating participation for professionals from different levels and regions.
The cross-sectoral care of children from 0 to 10 years old is also one of the highlights.
The training emphasizes child- and family-centered care, promoting more humane and effective practices in monitoring child development.
UFSC and UNA-SUS Strengthen Health Education
Nationally recognized, UFSC is a reference in teaching, research, and extension, in addition to being a pioneer in distance education in Brazil.
The partnership with UNA-SUS reinforces the university’s commitment to the qualification of SUS professionals, aligning education with the real needs of the population.
Enrollment for the Neuropsychomotor Development course is already open and can be done online.
This initiative represents a strategic opportunity for those seeking free, high-quality professional development with a direct impact on children’s health care.
