Today, 8.5 % of children in the United States are diagnosed with a mental health condition that includes treatment with psychotropic medications. In order to provide effective and safe treatment, a thorough, accurate, and appropriate assessment and diagnosis is essential. 

Our webinar on Psychopharmacology: Diagnosis and Assessment is eligible for 2 CEUs (BACB, QABA, APA). We focused on evidence-based assessment and diagnosis of common mental health disorders in children. We explore valid and reliable assessment and screening tools to identify mental health symptoms, and how to use these tools appropriately during the assessment process. We also review other diagnostic information, including medical and family history, physical examination findings, and appropriate laboratory and other diagnostic tests used to assure an accurate diagnosis. We review the diagnostic process, including the use of the DSM-5. We apply these examples to case studies of both individual diagnoses and concurrent diagnoses to illustrate the importance of thorough and appropriate assessments. 

Do we also have a 1 CE-eligible 50-minute Post Webinar Clinical Application? The workshop takes the practice portion of our webinars one step further by teaching attendees how to apply these tools in everyday practice. This workshop takes a deeper look at how to navigate the often-confusing steps of early detection and screening, what to do if it is recommended to seek immediate diagnostic evaluation as well as what to do with other outcomes of early screening. Diagnostic evaluation reports, examples of treatment plans for ABA services, and a treatment plan scorecard system will be discussed. Downloadable tools will be available for your resource kit at the end of the webinar and workshop.
