Learning objectives
The present course has as an objective the study of the basic principles of development psychopathologies, by means of expanding models, proceedings and evaluation methods that are specific at various stages of development. What’s more, it provides students with theoretical and practical notions concerning programs of prevention and support during the age of development. The students who pass the examination will be able to elaborate educational programs that are appropriate to a population considered “at risk”.

- intellectual disabilities;
