Explain how you would apply your knowledge of human development to meet the needs of an individual in one specific period of development. The needs of the individual will be determined not only by the period of development but also by the topic\/issue you selected. Include the application of at least one major theory of development in working with the individual. Explain how you will use theory to guide your work with the person in the specific period of development. Do not assume the reader has prior knowledge about the career, theory or topic. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0CHOOSE At least 4 topics<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 Prenatal care \u2022 Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) \u2022 Preschool\/ early childhood education \u2022 Autism \u2022 Child Maltreatment \u2022 Childhood Obesity \u2022 Special Education \u2022 Learning Disabilities \u2022 ADHD \u2022 Emotional and Behavioral Disorders (identify one specific disorder) \u2022 Intellectual Disabilities \u2022 Giftedness \u2022 Childhood stress and trauma \u2022 Peer status \u2022 Bullying \u2022 Baumrind\u2019s Parenting Styles \u2022 Gender issues \u2022 Adolescent sexual behavior \u2022 Teen pregnancy \u2022 Sex education \u2022 Substance abuse \u2022 Juvenile delinquency \u2022 Adolescent substance abuse \u2022 Adolescent depression \u2022 Sexual harassment \u2022 Sexual assault \u2022 Topics related to health in early adulthood \u2022 Topics related to sexuality in adulthood\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The first paragraph should briefly introduce \u00a0and end with a thesis statement. \u2022 After the introductory paragraph, the first main section should describe the career and include why a knowledge of human development is necessary for the profession. The section should begin with a heading that identifies the career. The education\/training requirements for the career should also be described. The professional association applicable to the chosen career must be used as a main source of information in this section. You should find the required information on the website of the relevant professional association. See the handout on professional associations for examples. In addition, you must include information from the Bureau of Labor Statistics (https:\/\/www.bls.gov\/ooh\/home.htm) for information about the career. Both of these sources must be cited using APA format. \u2022 In the second section, describe one period of development (e.g., infancy, early childhood, middle\/late childhood, adolescence, early adulthood, middle adulthood, or late adulthood). The section should begin with a heading that identifies the developmental period. Explain why knowledge of that specific developmental period is important for one to be effective in the career\/profession. Include examples of how such knowledge would be applied to an individual in that period of development. This may include knowledge of cognitive, socioemotional, or biological development. At least one of the three developmental processes must be addressed, more than one if possible, based on the knowledge required for the profession. Your textbook should be the main source for this information. Any additional sources must be \u201cscholarly\u201d, as defined later in this document under Additional Sources. \u2022 In the third section, describe a topic or issue that would likely present itself during the developmental period described. The section should begin with a heading that identifies the topic. You will explain how your knowledge about the issue might affect the way you provide service to the individual as a professional in the career. Based upon information 3 learned about the topic and the period of development, describe at least one thing you will do to be most effective in working with the individual (client\/patient, student, etc.) because of information learned in this course. Your understanding of the topic and related research on the topic should be clearly demonstrated. Your textbook should be the main source for this information. Any additional sources must be \u201cscholarly\u201d, as defined later in this document under Additional Sources. \u2022 In the fourth section, apply one of the major theories of development (Piaget, Erickson, Bronfenbrenner). For late adulthood, you may instead choose to use Activity Theory, Socioemotional Selectivity Theory, or Selective Optimization with Compensation Theory. For early adulthood, you may choose to extend Piaget\u2019s theory to include \u00a0\u00a0thought. Again, your textbook should be the main source for this information. The section should begin with a heading that identifies the theory. Explain how knowledge of the theory would be applied by the professional in their work with an individual (patient, client, student, etc.) who is in the same period of development and who is experiencing the issue\/topic previously described. If you applied one of these theories in the second section (period of development), you will apply a different theory\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Example: A student might select occupational therapist as a career and early childhood as the developmental period. She might select autism as a specific topic. She could explain how Bronfenbrenner\u2019s social-ecological theory might be applied to address a child\u2019s needs in multiple settings using this theory. Another student might select child welfare worker as a career and child maltreatment as a topic. He would select any one of the developmental periods in which child maltreatment could be experienced. If Erickson\u2019s theory were selected as the theory and applied to the child in middle\/late childhood, the student would explain how his knowledge about the Industry vs. Inferiority stage could help to inform how he works with the child, the factors he might pay attention to, or ways he might choose to intervene to help the child be most successful.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 After selecting the four elements described above, write \u00a0describe how knowledge of lifespan development will inform your work as a professional in the chosen career.
