This workshop on the latest developments in the assessment of behavioral, social, and clinical aspects of children’s functioning is based on Sattler’s Foundations of Behavioral, Social, and Clinical Assessment of Children, Sixth Edition. Topics include bullying, cyberbullying, sports-related concussions, executive functions, LD, ADHD, autism spectrum disorders, other disabilities, functional behavioral assessment, and clinical assessment techniques and instruments. Attention will be given to DSM-5.
