In terms of providing first aid to an ''adult'', it is usually made on a subjective judgment of the casualty's size rather than age. A child is usually classed as up until puberty and an adult may be classed as after that.

For example in CPR, 'child' CPR should be followed for children up until age 12 (approx) but 'adult' CPR can safely be administered to casualties above this age. It is usually made on judgment and there is no definite age limit.

How can first aid education be developed?

Well you should first start by figuring out what kind of first aid you would like to teach. Would you like to teach adult vs. children? First aid in car accidents or post op surgery's? Burns or wounds? Theres a plethora of scenarios. A good place to start is by obtaining a book the red cross uses when you take a first aid class. This is a nationally recognized class and should give you guidance that's needed.
