Description

This course focuses on the physical, cognitive, behavioral, and psychological aspects of the atypical developmental patterns of children and adolescents with varying disabilities.

Legal definitions of disabilities are stressed as well as the range of learning differences within typical development. This course includes a fieldwork component
