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.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Australia prepares to dredge 96.5 million m³ in Moreton Bay to deepen, widen, and realign channels of the Port of Brisbane, in a project of up to 25 years designed to accommodate larger ships and enhance maritime safety and regional port efficiency.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

Without wheels, iron, or machines, teams of up to 32 men would have dragged 2.3-ton blocks over wet sand up a ramp embedded in the pyramid itself, raising the structure in 20 to 27 years, according to a new computer model that reignites a millennia-old debate.

The sea has stopped just warming and has started pushing storms towards the continent: marine heatwaves are already entering the path of up to 25% of extreme coastal rains and can increase storms by 30%, worsening floods on the coast.

While traditional constructions rely on tons of concrete to support weight, in England an abandoned site was converted into transparent hexagonal domes, combining lightweight engineering and mine repurposing, transforming the landscape and local tourism.

The bridge that collapsed in seconds after being hit by a ship in Baltimore will be reborn as a cable-stayed bridge: Maryland signed $4.8 billion in four contracts for a 508-meter span specifically designed to withstand the impact of a giant cargo ship.

End of the tape measure, marking line, and subfloor error: robot prints the project directly on the construction site floor, creates layout up to 10 times faster, and marks 10,000 to 15,000 square feet per day with one person.

While historical buildings rely on artificial lighting, a museum in Wisconsin uses 66-meter movable wings to control natural light and create the effect of a giant bird over its glass hall.
