Title Developmental Disorders: Diagnosis, Theory, and Practice

Each session will cover theoretical foundations, introduce and practice diagnostic methods, and explore current research findings.
Prerequisites: 1) reading of relevant (German and English) literature, 2) planning and leading a session, 3) active and consistent participation (maximum two absences), 4) passing the final exam.
