Children and adolescents who experience trauma are at high risk for developing dysregulated behaviors. It can be challenging for pediatricians to distinguish trauma responses from attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and other diagnoses and develop a treatment plan. Faculty will use cases to discuss strategies for assessment and treatment, including algorithms and diagnostic tools, and judicious use of psychotropic medications.
