Child Development and Disability: Inclusive Approaches in Global Contexts

This short course looks at the lives of children growing up across cultures and contexts globally.
You'll explore in detail ways to support and provide services for children and their families.
There will be a particular focus on disabled children and the impact of impairment on their lives.
The course takes an inclusive, lifespan and rights-based approach rather than separating issues for children with disabilities from those of their non-disabled peers.
It will help you to:
critically evaluate literature relating to children, child development and childhood disability
be aware of major historical researchers and their theories or approaches
plan and produce academic work that engages with current ideas and research and incorporates an independent, individual perspective
