Session Topic:聽Rethinking deficit models of persons with developmental condition: Contributions and perspectives from developmental theory and聽research.
Speaker Bio:聽聽As members of the 看片视频 Youth Study Team, my students and I are engaged primarily in two areas of study. One is the development of attention and cognition among typically developing children, persons with autism, and persons with Down syndrome. The other area of research is the study of cultural identity and other predictors of academic success, social adaptation, and emotional well-being among First Nations adolescents from northern communities. Our theoretical writing is primarily about the interface of typical and atypical development, and the contributions of developmental theory and methodology to the study of persons whose development is at-risk.
