Mental Health Diagnosis in Early Childhood

Presented by: Angela Tomlin, PhD, HSPP and Lynne Sturm, PhD, HSPP

Appreciation for the level of emotional and behavioral concerns that can occur in very young children has been growing in recent years. This presentation will review current thinking about the scope and range of these issues. Participants will discuss the both DC 0-3R and DSM diagnostic categories that can be used to describe the behaviors of young children. Important differences between diagnosis in early childhood and older children will be presented, with a focus on the need to consider development and relationship factors. A brief discussion of appropriate assessment methods will be included.

Some of the programs covered will include: Private insurance, Medicaid, Medicaid Disability, Medicaid Waivers, Children's Special Health Care Services, SSI, First Steps and Head Start. Registration Fees: $50 for each session or $80 for both.
