Treating Adolescents

    Select one of the major developmental changes (puberty, movement toward adulthood, sexual exploration, peer orientation, etc.) that occurs during adolescence and one environmental influence (culture, SES, etc.) or personal characteristic (sexual orientation, disability, etc.) that may affect that developmental change. Post by Day 4 the developmental change and environmental influence or personal characteristic you selected. Then, explain three ways in which this influence or characteristic may affect a person’s maturation regarding the developmental change you selected.
