Study Notes
Developmental Models
- Medical Model focuses on signs and symptoms for diagnosing and treating diseases, neglecting social and psychological aspects.
- Biopsychosocial Model integrates societal and community systems, recognizing broader influences on an individual's health and development.
- The Ecobiodevelopmental Framework considers how childhood ecology (social and physical environments) interacts with biological processes to affect outcomes and life trajectories.
- Early stressors influence the body’s stress response, impacting brain development and gene expression.
Temperamental Characteristics
- Temperament is seen as biologically inherited, with estimates showing genetic differences contribute 20–60% to variability among individuals.
- Maternal prenatal stress has a noted impact on child temperament.
- Caregiver stability and presence play crucial roles in moderating temperament and buffering adverse influences, particularly in homes with mental health challenges.
Family Dynamics and Influence
- Families operate as systems, with defined roles that can affect children's decision-making and resilience.
- Children may exhibit vulnerabilities based on poorly defined boundaries within the family structure.
- The importance of nurturing caregivers is emphasized, as they provide essential emotional support.
Psychosocial Development (Erikson's Theory)
- Stage 2: Autonomy vs. Shame and Doubt (18 months to 3 years) involves children seeking control; caregivers should promote independence to encourage self-confidence.
- Stage 4: Industry vs. Inferiority (6 to 11 years) emphasizes mastering new skills and developing self-control; successful navigation results in a sense of competence.
Developmental Screening
- Developmental Delay occurs when milestones are attained with significant delay across one or more streams (e.g., speech or motor skills).
- Developmental Deviance is characterized by atypical milestone attainment, often seen in autism spectrum disorder cases.
- Developmental Dissociation denotes significant disparities in achievement across different developmental domains.
- Developmental Regression involves the loss of previously learned skills (e.g., language).
Red Flags in Developmental Screening
- Instances of exceptional skill in one area before foundational skills (e.g., reciting the alphabet or identifying flags without basic speech) warrant further assessment.
- Observational tools (like PPS) are utilized to track developmental milestones and identify areas requiring intervention.
