In this subject students will use an ecological framework to examine the relationship between the early years of development including new understanding in brain development and health throughout the life-cycle. The links between economic inequality and child health and the promotion of optimum development of young children through social justice strategies, prevention and early intervention programs will be explored within a primary health care framework. Approaches to influencing parenting, professional practice and government policy are examined. Students further develop health, growth and developmental assessment skills with children 0-5 years in community settings.
