Description
Attorneys taking this course will come to understand that is now much more difficult to get a favorable decision when it comes to “meeting or equaling” a listed mental impairment. Being an applied course, the instructor will demonstrate how attorneys can make use of psychometric test findings (WAIS-IV & WMS-IV) contained in DDS consultative exams to effectively develop and argue the theory of their case for 12.02 Neurocognitive Disorders, 12.05 Intellectual Disorders, and 12.11 Neuro-developmental Disorders. Hands on resource material that can be applied directly to cases will be provided in the course handout.
If there is time, the instructor will talk briefly about posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), which is no longer considered under 12.06 Anxiety-Related Disorders. Attorneys will see that its inclusion in the new 12.15 Trauma- and Stressor-Related Disorders, though conceptually sensible, definitionaly is almost impossible to satisfy or meet.
