This brief summary of psychoanalyst, Erik Erikson’s life stages may be helpful for Support Brokers to review and print for their portfolio. The developmental stages begin at Infant and progress through to the Older Adult stage. Support Brokers should carefully read the introductory paragraph. How do these descriptions of development influence how you develop expectations for individuals with disabilities? Following this brief summary is an article on Adult Developmental Stages by Arthur McArthur. Typically, developmental stages are discussed in terms of infanthood through ages 19 or 20. Mr. McArthur; however, discusses the transitions that adults go through and how their perspective on their future changes throughout time.

Erikson's Developmental Stages

Adult Developmental Stages

These two readings are designed to provide Support Brokers with a brief review of what is meant by developmental stages in theory. Although they do not specifically make statements about disability issues; it is pertinent to consider how a disability often changes the expectations society has on growth and development of a person.
