Teasing Apart Symptoms and Behaviors in the Young Child, presented by Alessia de Paola Gottlieb, MD

Assessing the preschool child for developmental and mental health disorders can be one of the most challenging tasks a clinician can face. Children are too young to describe their internal experience and parents and caregivers are often interpreting behaviors with an adult lens, often informed by their own experience in their own childhood or with other children.

This lecture is designed to discuss a comprehensive approach to the assessment of the young child, how to look at the many behaviors and symptoms seen in early childhood, and to gain knowledge and expertise in interpreting these behaviors and symptoms to create a more comprehensive and directed treatment plan for the child and family.
