Workshop Description:

     Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD) is a proposed diagnostic category with hopes of better capturing the complex symptoms in children exposed to Type II traumas. These children often end up with diagnoses not reflective of their traumatic histories, including ADHD, ODD, or Bipolar Disorder. This practical yet research-based workshop will outline the scope of this problem, deepen your knowledge of DTD, and provide some therapeutic tools to help intervene with these children.

Workshop Objectives: 

Based on the content of this workshop, attendees will be able to:

• Discuss participants' already solid understanding of ADHD symptoms.
• List key symptoms of Developmental Trauma Disorder (DTD)
• Compare and contrast symptom pictures of children with DTD and ADHD.
• Describe research-supported interventions for DTD and apply them to educational and therapeutic settings

Skill level:

Intermediate
