Special education students have more difficulty transforming through the stages of the lifespan and life course theories produced by Erik Erikson and Kohlberg, requiring additional help from teachers, parents and volunteers who can provide essential knowledge and positive examples. After knowing and understanding the theories produced by Kohlberg and Erikson, researchers will better understand how humans develop and transform into new stages and what it takes for a person to move through the stages of life. Through volunteering, a researcher can learn first-hand how these theories apply in real life by spending time with special education students. Students with special needs need help from teachers and tutors to help them with transformations that slow down the progression of developmental milestones; but at the same time more visible.Transforming Life Stages for Students with Special NeedsIntroductionCultural imperatives separate a group based on who they believe meets the world's criteria as "normal." Cultural imperatives establish ethical values ​​and moral standards that separate the human race into different stages of life which can be linked to Kohlberg's theory of moral development. When researching life stages and human development in a special education classroom, cultural imperatives become cultural diversity. Developmental theories such as those of Erikson and Kohlberg occur in every transformation in a human being's life, but research on this topic with students with special needs allows researchers to better understand how these transformations occur in a child's life that they are not completely able to understand like a "normal" child. the child could.Literature reviewKohlberg and Erikson are the founders of development... middle of article......the context of inclusive practices.
