Week 4 Assignment

Developmental Influences and Considerations

Your Name

Walden University

You will start here by writing a couple of sentences on the topic of the paper. Then you will say what your paper will discuss (use third person: the author or the counselor trainee will discuss….or The author will explore….). Below are your headers that are suggested parts of the assignment. Write under each and support your responses with scholarly citations.

Client Conceptualization with Developmental Considerations

Here you should provide a brief conceptualization of a client from the case studies provided in the Learning Resources for the week. Be sure not to simply repeat the case study, but conceptualize in your own words and focus on developmental considerations.

Risk Factors Related to Developmental Stage of Client

Identify and briefly describe two risk factors for the case you reviewed related to the developmental stage of the client.

Stage Focused Interventions and Goals

Describe here how you will address the risk factors identified above with stage focused interventions and goals.

Impact of Developmental Lens

Describe how a developmental lens can inform your efforts to effectively facilitate assessment, diagnosis, and treatment.

You need to be sure to summarize the paper with a conclusion paragraph. Provide any additional insights gained here and wrap up the subject.

References

Your references go here. Your references are on a separate page. Be sure they are in APA format and double spaced. I would expect to see course readings here, as well as additional outside support from your own research. Scholarly journal articles are best.
