Students will learn to assess and manage APD across the lifespan, with focused attention on pediatric populations and special considerations for older children and adults. Topics include risk factors, diagnostic procedures, and clinical decision-making. Upon completion, students will be equipped to develop and implement effective APD services tailored to both children and adults in diverse clinical settings.
