Agenda

This webinar is an introduction to assessing child development as a central skill to developmental psychiatry or understanding the significance of emotions and behaviour in children with intellectual disability, autism and other neurodevelopmental problems. Lorna Wing, along with Judith Gould, wrote the Handicaps Behaviour Skills Schedule (HBS) in 1980 and the webinar outlines the importance and relevance of this assessment tool. The HBS is briefly compared to the Diagnostic Interview for Social and Communication Disorders and the Autism Diagnostic Interview-Revised . Implications for adjustment and attachment will be outlined.
