The purpose of this final project is to apply the process and theories of development in conceptualizing a specific experience with a child or adolescent with a significant health concern. In so doing, it will be necessary that you provide details about and analysis of the following elements: (a) specific developmental stage, (b) typical milestone of this stage, (c) influence of the patient’s parents, (d) relevance of patient’s culture, and (e) presence of and impact of neurodevelopmental and/or mood disorders. It will also be necessary to discuss the patient’s development within the context of trauma and/or other adverse childhood experiences (i.e., this could clearly include the physical health diagnosis); resiliency should also be considered with this piece. Finally, taking into consideration all of the preceding factors, you are to develop (and justify) a process of engaging with the patient and caregivers.
I am including the week 2 assignment for reference only
