Goal 4 - To Foster Students’ Development of Socialization and Development of Life Skills

Objectives

• 4.1 - Increase knowledge in human developmental processes
• 4.2 - Develop appropriate behavioral, affective, adaptive, and social goals for students of varying abilities

Strategy for Ensuring Competency
With a good understanding of the role of assessment of behavior as a prerequisite for development of interventions to promote adaptive living, we educate students about diagnostic criteria for varied psychological disorders and their long-term implications. Students develop skills in conceptualizing maladaptive behaviors and understanding strategies for increasing adaptive behaviors in children/adults.
