Description :
This project was canceled due to remote learning. UNO students in Dr. Mitzi Ritzman’s Early Language Development course (SPED 4420) made home visits with LCC Navigators to families that the Learning Community Center of South Omaha (LCC) serves. Students came uo work with small children, with a fop with individualized interaction plans tcus on language and literacy, and shared the information and resources with the families. LCC’s educational navigators worked closely with UNO students on home visits. The UNO students were able to apply their knowledge and skills they learned in the class about developmental milestones and literacy with language components. They shared their home visit experiences at the final celebration.
