Description This subject provides guidance to students in conducting a thorough paediatric history and examination, including strategies to engage children and communicate effectively with parents. Students will develop skills to assess normal childhood developmental milestones and behaviours, and recognise key factors that indicate at-risk and vulnerable populations so they can benefit from timely interventions. This subject specifically addresses common conditions such as ADHD, autism and language delay. This subject outlines non-pharmacological and pharmacological approaches to management for common behavioural and developmental issues in children. Students will learn to implement management plans effectively and advocate for vulnerable populations, including children with disabilities.
