Description: In this 4-credit advanced-level course the student will examine what is meant by human developmental exceptionality, theories of developmental difference, cultural perspectives of differences and how we judge what is normal. In order to understand developmental exceptionality, the student must have a good understanding of typical development. The student will build on their knowledge of human development and how development may be affected by a specific disability/giftedness. The student will examine the various types of developmental disabilities linked with physical/health issues, emotional/behavioral, particularly as regards learning and communication issues, as well as levels of intellectual learning and related developmental disabilities. Another area of developmental difference to be examined is that of giftedness and gifted children with disabilities. Current research in the study of childhood developmental exceptionalities will be investigated. Well-identified differences will be covered in this course, including Asperger's syndrome, autism, emotional trauma; extremely slow learners, and those identified as exceptionally bright. Students hopefully will come away from this course with a stronger respect for the variety of human learning experiences, and a clearer understanding of how to interact successfully with exceptional learners. Childhood and adolescent differences will be discussed, with reference to their impact on adulthood.

Prerequisites: Human Development, Lifespan Development, Developmental Psychology, or Child Development or the equivalent.
