This final project should be considered a culmination of the work throughout the course. In week 2, you selected a case option to review and analyze (they are listed below, as well). This initial piece should be included in this final project.
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
