DSM-5-TR Series: Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Overview
Curriculum

Neurodevelopmental disorders encompass a wide range of conditions that emerge early in an individual's development, often before birth. These disorders can manifest as atypical brain function, which can affect emotions, learning ability, self-control, and memory as the individual grows. Their impact spans the gamut, from minor challenges in daily functioning to significant impairments that necessitate lifelong support.

This course offers a comprehensive study of the primary conditions within the realm of neurodevelopmental disorders, including:

  • Intellectual Disability (Intellectual Developmental Disorder)
  • Communication Disorders
  • Autism Spectrum Disorder
  • Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
  • Specific Learning Disorder
  • Motor Disorders
  • Other Neurodevelopmental Disorders

Over the duration of this course, participants will:

  • Explore the historical context and evolution of our understanding of these disorders, tracking shifting definitions and diagnostic criteria.
  • Delve deeply into the contemporary diagnostic criteria, emphasizing both commonalities and distinctions among disorders.
  • Investigate evidence-based intervention strategies, therapeutic modalities, and support mechanisms tailored for each disorder.
  • Reflect on the societal implications, perceptions, and potential stigmas surrounding neurodevelopmental disorders. We'll focus on advocating for a balanced, informed, and empathetic perspective.
