Understanding the Implications of Developmental Diversity in Children

Using a critical disability theory perspective, examines early development of young children across developmental areas. Explores: 1) atypical development 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; 3) service delivery models and key transitions; and 4) implications of developmental disabilities across the lifespan.
