Course information

This course focuses at malfunctions that are first diagnosed in infancy, child hood or adolescence. Many of these medical conditions involving disturbances in the normal functioning of the mind and body of a child will include: mental retardation, Autism, ADD, ODD, eating disorders, learning disorders, and other syndromes as identified in the DSM-IV manual. Since some of these disorders present and are better diagnosed in adolescence and adulthood, the student will be equipped with intervention strategies to mitigate their impact in children.
