Understanding the Implications of Developmental Diversity in Children and Youth.

Catalog description

Using a critical disability theory perspective, this course explores: 1) atypical development across areas (e.g., cognitive, social, physical, linguistic) due to prenatal, perinatal, and early childhood developmental risk factors; 2) childhood development theories and how they support educators' understanding of children, families, and developmentally appropriate practices; and 3) service delivery models and key transitions across the lifespan.
