Course overview

This basic psychology course aims to introduce you to the idea of self-concept, how it develops and the way that disability can impact upon its development. It is designed for those who have an interest in this area – such as professionals who work with children and their families, the carers and families, or those who themselves may have a disability – to give them a greater understanding of the development of self-concept in a person with a physical disability and the challenges that can result.
