Participants will discuss cases of young children using a case presentation. The case example will illustrate how DC:0-3R can be utilized in clinical assessments. Clinicians who have received previous training in DC:0-3R and would like an opportunity to participate in case discussion may attend this session only, but need to provide documentation of prior training on the online registration form under “comments”.
