OCD in kids doesn’t just look like handwashing or checking – and if you’re not looking for it, you might miss it entirely.
In this fast-moving, high-impact 3-hour training by sought-after presenter Dr. Ashley Smith, you’ll learn how to confidently identify, assess, and treat OCD in children and teens – including the sneaky subtypes and taboo thoughts most clinicians overlook.
Get step-by-step guidance in designing and delivering developmentally appropriate Exposure with Response Prevention (ERP) protocols, and discover how ACT, mindfulness, and parental support strategies can boost motivation, reduce accommodation, and lead to lasting change.
