Julia London Educational & Developmental Psychologist and Clinical Psychologist at RPCS The DSM-5 is a documented classification system, used by clinicians and researchers to assist in the accurate diagnosis and treatment of Mental Disorders. DSM-5 stands for the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th Edition. It is the most recent publication of the classification system which has been continuously updated over the last 60 years, with the DSM-5 publication in May 2013. APA, 2013 The DSM-5 classification system is widely used and provides common language for discussing disorders and symptoms between health professionals. Changes to the classifications in the DSM will impact diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of mental health issues. With an estimation that 20% of the Australian population have a diagnosable mental condition, this is likely to impact many students, staff and families in our school community. AIHW, 2013 Neurodevelopmental Disorders Schizophrenia Spectrum and Psychosis Mood Disorders and Bipolar Anxiety Disorders OCD and related disorders Trauma Feeding and Elimination Disorders Disruptive, Impulse Control and Conduct There have been some major changes to particularly the neurodevelopmental and disruptive impulse control and conduct disorders categories There has also been a new addition to the depressive disorders category Such disorders with diagnostic changes include: ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, Social Communication Disorder, Intellectual Disability, Learning Disorders Import criteria All children are different, even those who have the same diagnosis, so it is unlikely that a set of intervention strategies will apply to all students Some strategies that are helpful for all students include: small groups, one to one teaching, minimise distractors such as noises, have clear and concise expectations, give advanced warning for changes to normal routines, provide visual aids etc Many students with diagnoses will require additional and individualised interventions, such as story boards for particular situations, IEPs, alternate consequences for problem behaviours etc Implications for funding How will this impact interventions for students What should I be looking for in my students that may indicate they require an assessment or support Where can I go for help or information Are there any other disorders you commonly see in your schools that require further discussion APA 2013 AIHW 17/6/2013 http://www.aihw.gov.au/mental-health/
