Abstrakt: ACA and IAMFC codes of ethics center culturally-affirming lifespan development skills as professional identity responsibilities specific to counselors. Despite the critical importance of lifespan knowledge and skills outcomes, as evidenced in the 2023 CACREP standards, the skills-based training of counselors-in-trainings in this area is inadequate and rooted in theory grounded in research based on homogeneous samples and discriminatory practices. Counselor education is deeply in need of a lifespan curriculum that reflects diverse populations. The updated lifespan curriculum must be inclusive and consider the impact of context and culture on lifespan development. In this conceptual article, we call on counseling faculty to infuse updated developmental science with clinical skills scaffolding across their plans of study. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
