Human Exceptionalities ((4 Credits))

Catalog description

This course focuses on exceptionalities (differences) in human development, including theories and cultural perspectives on what is judged as normal and different. Topics may include how development is affected by specific disability/giftedness (including physical/health issues, emotional/behavioral/communication problems, and intellectual and developmental disabilities); the development of children with giftedness and gifted children with disabilities; and research in the study of childhood developmental exceptionality. While it is not required, it might be helpful if students have Human Development, Child Development, or an equivalent course. This course was previously HDV-283224 .
