Part: Create the Case
Note: The assessments in this course follow the human developmental sequence, so you are encouraged to complete them in order.
Create a simulated case study, relevant to your area of specialization, of a person in early, middle, or late adulthood who presents developmental challenges that could be predicted by developmental theory and/or research.
Your case should be 1-2 pages in length and it should describe:
The person and their strengths and challenges.
The person's medical, family, and social context.
The developmental challenges evident in the person's behavior.
Individual and cultural factors that theory and/or research indicate could impact the person's development.
Any other factors you deem appropriate based on your understanding of the theory and related research.
To develop this case, you should:
Explore through theory and research stages of adulthood development.
Develop your case by creating a challenge for the adult who is navigating through one of the three phases of adulthood. Describe what the selected adult struggles with in this phase of their lifespan.
Develop your case study further by creating an environmental context for the adult. Include any specific issues that you want to explore through research, such as influences of a specific culture or ethnicity, specific socioeconomic status, family structure, attachment issues, and neighborhood context.
