Approximately 15% of children suffer from serious psychological problems. And, a significant number of these children do not grow out of their childhood difficulties—recent longitudinal studies have found that by their 21st birthday, 3 out of 5 individuals meet criteria for a psychiatric disorder. Views of children with mental disorders has changed over the centuries, from harsh treatments in the 17th and 18th centuries, to a custodial model popular in the early 20th century, to modern evidence-based diagnosis and therapy.
This course provides a broad overview of child exceptionality and psychopathology—covering definition and description, theory and research into etiology, educational implications, and treatment. Topics include: Intellectual Disability, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Childhood-Onset Schizophrenia, Learning Disorders, Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, Conduct Problems, Childhood Depression, Anxiety Disorders, and Disorders Related to Child Abuse and Neglect.
