The life span theory of development is based on the notion that development occurs at all ages. A person's developmental history influences his or her behavior later in life. Following this assumption, the ability of an elderly person to cope with health problems is related to past experience in coping with similar problems or life events. The goal of intervention related to life span development serves two purposes: to help individuals overlap positive health behaviors that will be sustained throughout life and to discuss the role and impact of life events on their ability to cope with later problems. The school health program provides an excellent vehicle for achieving these goals.
