SUMMARY:The DD Diagnoses and Community Mental Health
DESCRIPTION:Dates: 4/14/26 & 4/21/25\nTime: 9:00 – 10:30\nEnrollment Limited to: 20\nContact Hours: 3\nCEU’s: 3\nAlmost all clinicians who are in a general practice setting either in the community\, or a school or hospital are finding they need skills in recognizing developmental disorders and adapting treatment strategies to meet the needs of individuals who are either on the spectrum or have cognitive challenges.  This course is designed to review the fundamental aspects of these diagnoses\, including changes in the DSM 5-TR.  The course will address understanding ASD from a biogenetic and neuropsychological perspective including contemporary research that is changing how we understand the etiology and detection of ASD.  The course will go on to consider the differential diagnosis challenges in ASD which has a high rate of comorbidity with a myriad of other diagnostic issues.  The course will also consider psychotherapeutic strategies specific for this population including examples of how therapeutic interventions have been modified in order to be effective.  Finally\, the course will present the unique sociopolitical aspects of this diagnosis and how this relates to the construct of intersectionality. The participants will have an opportunity to consider how they can sensitively integrate this perspective into their work with these clients. \nMethod:  Lecture\, discussion\, and video clips \nLearning Objectives: \n\nParticipants will be able to identify the current diagnostic trends with ASD and its implication for treatment planning.\nParticipants will be able to explain two contemporary advances in understanding the etiology of ASD.\nParticipants will be able to describe a common differential diagnosis with these clients and explain how to move toward making an accurate assessment of the client.\nAfter considering the range of modifications that can be made in therapeutic interventions with these clients\, participants will be able to identify an adaptation that they could employ or that they have recently used that illustrates these principles.\nParticipants will be able to demonstrate an understanding of the construct of intersectionality as it relates to this population and consider how this might influence their work with these clients.\n\nInstructor:  Kenn Mann\, Psy.D. \nLocation:  Live Via Zoom \nCost: $150 for non-WJCS staff \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER\nWestchester Jewish Community Services is recognized by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Psychology as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed psychologists #PSY-0101\, and by the New York State Education Department’s State Board for Social Work as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed social workers #SW0067 and by The New York State Education Department’s State Board for Mental Health Practitioners as an approved provider of continuing education for licensed mental health counselors. #MHC-0313 \nPlease note: To receive CE credits\, one must attend the entirety of the class.
