About the Course
It is not uncommon for adults to respond to children and youth behavior based on their chronological age. Unfortunately, chronological age only tells how long the child or youth has been alive. What is more important is assessing the child or youth's developmental level in each of the developmental domains. Having this information will allow for more appropriate responses to a child or youth’s behavior or needs.
