Child and Adolescent Development and Variation

The biological, neuropsychological, psychosocial, cognitive, behavioral, and ecological theories of development are reviewed in this course. Progress in the developmental domains, and the intersection among these domains in development and learning, are examined from birth through adolescence, within these theoretical perspectives. The impact of culture on development is infused throughout. Variations in development are considered in terms of biological and environmental risks and disability. Assessments and interventions in development and learning are introduced.
