This course covers the developmental changes, issues and challenges in human development from birth to late adulthood. The life-span perspective explored here is viewed as lifelong, multidimensional, plastic, multidisciplinary, and contextual. This perspective actively involves growth, maintenance, and regulation. The course will also examine contemporary concerns from infancy through old age. Presented in depth and breadth, and supplemented with interactive, hands-on tutorial activities, this course will provide the students with a solid foundation in the knowledge of human growth and life-span development as they prepare for a career in the helping profession.
