Final Assignment: Developmental Venn Diagram Analysis (Video Presentation)
Purpose
This assignment allows you to apply key concepts from lifespan development to examine how a single social, emotional, or health-related issue presents across two distinct developmental stages. You will demonstrate your understanding of biological, psychological, and social development and the healthcare professional’s role by visually comparing stages using Venn diagrams and explaining your analysis in a video presentation.
Deliverable
3–5 minute video presentation
You must record your own face and voice No AI narration or written papers will be accepted Venn diagrams must be shown clearly on screen during the video
Video Presentation Requirements
Please organize your presentation into the following clearly labeled sections:
Issue and Developmental Stages (Approx. 1 minute) Clearly state the issue you selected (e.g., grief, chronic illness, disability, trauma, substance use) Identify the two developmental stages you are comparing Briefly explain why this issue is important to examine across development
Developmental Comparison: The Issue Across Stages (Approx. 1.5–2 minutes) Using Venn Diagram #1, explain how the issue appears at each developmental stage.
Address the following through a biopsychosocial lens:
Biological Factors
Psychological Factors
Social Factors
Be sure to explain:
What is unique to each developmental stage What is shared between stages (overlap)
Healthcare Professional Role Across Development (Approx. 1–1.5 minutes) Using Venn Diagram #2, compare how the role of a healthcare professional differs by developmental stage.
Discuss:
Assessment priorities Communication style Intervention and education strategies Ethical or boundary considerations Highlight both stage-specific approaches and shared professional responsibilities.
Theoretical Application Integrate at least two developmental theories or theorists from the course, such as:
Erikson Piaget Vygotsky Bandura Bronfenbrenner Explain how your Venn diagram analysis reflects these theories. Be specific in your explanations.
Reflection and Professional Insight Why did you choose this issue? What surprised you when comparing developmental stages? How might this understanding help healthcare or mental health professionals work more effectively across the lifespan?
