Critically analyses developmental theory and research to explain and manage developmental challenges highlighted in a case study.

 Lifespan and Atypical Development

There needs to be an explicit link throughout which is to critically analyses developmental theory and research to explain and manage developmental challenges highlighted in a case study (case study is given). However, the explicit link is not made between theory, research and the individual in the case study, which needs to be made throughout. There is also no research discussed that have tested different developmental theories and again relate them to the case study…this needs to be the critical cycle: developmental theory – developmental research – developmental challenges highlighted in the case study. There are also some areas that are irrelevant – paragraphs that are very short and don’t reach any point or critical analysis in relation to the case study. It is just somewhat disjointed.
