  Final Project Outline

In Week 1, you were asked to review the Final Project Guidelines and begin thinking about your timeline (Part 1) for the Final Project. Consider what you have learned so far in this course and how you can use theory to support your understanding of identity development. How do your experiences align with theory you have learned? What new insights have you gained? As you move forward, be sure to identify salient elements of developmental theories and how these align with your life experiences.

For this Assignment, you are asked to provide a basic outline for your final project. Identify the six life events that you will use for your final project. Remember that at least one of each must have occurred in childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. For each event, briefly identify (2–3 sentences each) why this event was significant in your development.

Note: Although you must support your work with integration of developmental theory in the final submitted project, this is not necessary for this Assignment.

  Living With a Disability

When Shelly saw Ms. Jones in a wheelchair, she felt sorry for her. She said a little prayer of thanks that she could walk and move freely without any hindrance. However, feeling badly for a person and actually sitting in the wheelchair for another vantage point is very different.

Imagine that you suffered an accident six months ago. The accident left you partially paralyzed from the waist down. You are currently seeking counseling from a professional specializing in working with individuals who have disabilities. It has been a difficult six months. Your central concerns relate to the emotional and physical adjustments you must now make in relation to your family, job, and future plans. You are permanently in a wheelchair and have limited use of your legs but full use of your arms and upper body. Identify three major issues that you think you would need to work through in therapy. Explain what aspect of each issue is problematic for you. Explain how your views on intimacy, usefulness, and security will change for you to make the necessary adjustments for living with the disability. How well do you think you would cope with this situation if you faced something similar in real life?

Submit your response to the Submissions Area by the due date assigned. Your response should be at least two pages long.
