Developmental Continuum

The Developmental Continuum is a way of understanding how people grow and change over time. It recognizes that development isn’t just a series of separate stages, but a smooth, ongoing process. For example, children develop physically, emotionally, and socially at different rates, and these changes build on one another. The continuum shows that development occurs gradually, with skills and abilities evolving and becoming more complex over time. This perspective helps us see growth as a continuous journey, rather than fixed points, allowing for a more personalized understanding of each individual’s progress.
