Homework
Abnormal brain development or damage at an early age can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders. Within this group of disorders, some are resolvable with appropriate and timely interventions, either pharmacological or nonpharmacological, while other disorders are chronic and need to be managed throughout the lifespan.
For this Homework, you will develop a study guide for an assigned disorder and share it with your colleagues. In sum, these study guides will be a powerful tool in preparing for your certification exam.
To Prepare
1. Your Instructor will assign you to a specific neurodevelopmental disorder from the DSM-5.
2. Research your assigned disorder using the Walden Library. Then, develop an organizational scheme for the important information about the disorder.
Task
Create a study guide for your assigned disorder. Your study guide should be in the form of an outline with references, and you should incorporate visual elements such as concept maps, charts, diagrams, images, color coding, mnemonics, and/or flashcards. Be creative! It should not be in the format of an APA paper. Your guide should be informed by the DSM-5 but also supported by at least three other scholarly resources.

1. Signs and symptoms according to the DSM-5
2. Differential diagnoses
3. Incidence
4. Development and course
5. Prognosis
6. Considerations related to culture, gender, age
7. Pharmacological treatments, including any side effects
8. Nonpharmacological treatments
9. Diagnostics and labs
10. Comorbidities
11. Legal and ethical considerations
12. Pertinent patient education considerations
