You’ll develop your academic study skills and cement your understanding of areas such as human growth and language development.Through inquiry, debate, reflection, and a purposeful integration of literature and current evidence related to child development and special educational needs and disabilities, you’ll make meaningful connections to develop your practice and impact.You'll examine child development from a range of perspectives exploring psychology, sociology, policy and the history of education.
