ICE (International Clinical Educators) Learning Center

Discover a new library resource each month to help you research, learn, and succeed all semester long!

While the International Clinical Educators (ICE) videos are primarily designed to support Occupational and Physical Therapy Assistant programs, they also offer valuable information for students studying Early Childhood Education.

Parents of young children may find helpful insights into early childhood motor skill development, while those caring for aging family members or loved ones with mobility challenges may discover practical tips to improve comfort and independence in everyday activities.
