Psy-FP7210 Early Development Case Intervention Analysis

** Please view attachement**

Create and analyze a 1–2-page simulated case study of an infant or toddler with developmental challenges and who shows evidence of factors that affect development. Then, create a 5–7-page intervention plan based on evidence-based strategies that have proven effective in similar cases and make projections for possible long-term impacts of the child’s current challenges.

Note: The assessments in this course follow the successive stages of lifespan development, so you are strongly encouraged to complete them in sequence.

Beginning as early as conception, both heredity and environmental influences can affect the development of an individual. As you engage in this assessment, keep in mind that small influences can have a significant impact on a developing fetus. Hereditary diseases, genetics, teratogens, nutrition, and stress are all factors that can influence prenatal development, which in turn, can have effects across the lifespan.

Part 1: Create the Case

undefined

Create a simulated case study, relevant to your area of specialization, of an infant or toddler (birth to 24 months of age) who presents developmental challenges related to factors described by Bowlby’s attachment theory. Review the following Case Study Example to better understand the requirements.

undefined

Your case study should be 1–2 pages in length and it should describe:

undefined

The infant or toddler and his or her strengths and challenges.

undefined

The medical, family, and social context.

undefined

The developmental challenges that were evident in the behavior of the infant or toddler.

undefined

Evidence in the case that supports a specific attachment style.

undefined

Contextual factors that could affect the infant’s or toddler’s development in the area you selected for consideration.

undefined

Individual and cultural factors that theory and/or research indicate could impact the infant’s or toddler’s development.

undefined

Any other factors you deem appropriate based on your understanding of the theory and related research.

undefined

To develop this case, you should:

undefined

Explore theory and research-based on Bowlby’s attachment theory and related to the area of development you selected as the focus of the case.

undefined

Identify attachment styles in general and analyze a specific attachment style for the case you are developing.

undefined

Locate and read current research on prenatal and infant development to describe potential outcomes linked to development in infancy or toddlerhood, including important considerations in the case you are developing.

undefined

Follow current APA guidelines for style and formatting, as well as for citing your resources. Include a reference list of the scholarly resources you consulted.

undefined

Part 2: Early Development Case Intervention Analysis

undefined

Research

undefined

Complete the following:

undefined

Research evidence-based interventions that have been effective in meeting the challenges of the infant or toddler you described in your case study, from the perspective of your own professional specialization (as far as possible).

undefined

Explain how the deficits in developmental domains or environmental contexts impacted functioning.

undefined

State the recommended interventions that align with your specialization.

undefined

Include evidence for those outcomes from the professional literature.

undefined

Explore briefly the literature on adult attachment issues, considering that early influences can impact development across the lifespan.

undefined

Explain, from the perspective of your specialization, how the attachment style of the infant or toddler could be manifested as an adult.

undefined

Explain how this might help in understanding and determining an approach to working with an adult with attachment-related issues.
