The Diagnostic and Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorder of Children 0-5 (DC:0-5) is the first developmentally based system for diagnosing mental health and developmental disorders in children 0-72 months. The DC:0-5 is designed for use by individuals across disciplines to identify concerns, areas of intervention, and to communicate clinical observations between professionals. This 2-day training will provide participants with a complete, ZERO TO THREE approved, DC:0-5 training. The training will provide information on the multi-axial system within the DC:0-5 and prepare participants to fully utilize the manual. Participants will also receive the crosswalk between DC:0-5 and ICD:10 to enable providers, and their agencies, to bill effectively for services for children 0-72 months.

Consider an overview of infant/early childhood mental health.
Learn the recommended approach for diagnosing disorders in infancy and early childhood.
