About this Unit
Structured around an overview of lifespan development including diversity, this unit explores the holistic nature of growth and development through developmental theory and research. This unit highlights the interactive nature of three main areas of development: biological, cognitive, and psychosocial changes that affect the individual from conception to end of life. The unit encourages observation as a means for understanding development and promoting individuals wellbeing. An understanding of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander development will be integrated into the unit alongside an appreciation of richness in diversity within various cultural contexts.
