47 Developmentally appropriate practice

The concept of Developmentally Appropriate Practice (DAP) was originally geared toward young children. After reading the NAEYC paper on Developmentally Appropriate Practice, please provide a summary of your understanding of DAP and apply it to an older child. How might it be useful to adapt principles of DAP to the needs of older children and perhaps even college students? Select a child, either fictional or real and apply DAP to them based on their needs. Your paper should be 1.5 to 3 pages long.
