Human Growth and Development / Unit 8   HGD 1104 short lesson, about 20 seconds

Supports Across Ecological Levels

Captions available

The idea

Supports for struggling children work at every ecological level: individual skills, family and school in the microsystem, community programmes, and cultural attitudes to mental-health care.

In practice

About fourteen percent of US public-school children receiving special-education services, alongside mentoring from community programmes.

Where people slip

Mentoring programmes can reach families who avoid clinical services; goodness of fit between child and context matters throughout.
