Participants will learn about the assessment framework imbedded in the DC: 0-3R emphasizes unique developmental and relational needs of infants/toddlers in the context of their families. The multi-axial framework promotes diagnostic thinking that identifies contributions of constitutional (physical, health), medical/developmental, relational, psychosocial and functional social-emotional factors to clinical understanding of the child’s presentation of challenges and competencies. This framework promotes a thorough assessment process that is a foundation for clinical formulation of the factors that are contributing to overall child functioning and capacity to successfully cope with the challenges of daily life. Integration of the data represented by the axes helps to establish a strong connection between diagnostic formulation and treatment planning.
