Explore the concept of exceptionalities in children and youth including historical and theoretical perspectives and methods used in psychological assessments and treatments in conjunction with biological, psychological and sociocultural influences that contribute to our present understanding of exceptionalities. Identify common characteristics of a wide variety of exceptionalities using the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Examine current treatment and resources used in the field of Child and Youth Care through case applications which address the complex needs of a youth and the development of a strength-based, culturally relevant treatment plan.
