Enhancing Understanding of Young Children’s Behavior in Context
Clinical Framework Training: DC:0-5™
This comprehensive training on DC:0-5™ Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood supports clinicians from fields of mental health, health, and early intervention in gaining in-depth knowledge of the approach and content of DC:0-5 and to practice application of this nosology. The training provides history and background around the need and development of a specialized diagnostic classification system for infancy and early childhood disorders, approaches in diagnosis from an IECMH perspective which is developmentally informed, relationship-based, contextual, and culturally responsive.

DC:0-5™ aims to:
- Identify mental health and developmental challenges early in life
- Inform the creation of a developmentally appropriate, and family centered treatment plan
- Provide an approach to diagnosis from an Infant Early Childhood Mental Health perspective which is developmentally informed, relationship based, contextual and culturally responsive
Learning more about the DC:0-5™ is helpful for:
- Those who are directly involved in the developmental and mental health evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment of children birth to 5 years of age.
- Professionals who work to support infants, young children, and their families, but for whom diagnoses are not within their scope of professional practice or license.
- A deeper familiarity with the diagnostic process through exposure as a participant observer aims to sharpen observational skills and awareness when a referral to a mental health professional may be appropriate, and to more precisely address the individual diagnostic profiles of the infants and children you serve.
