Developmental Disorders 101: What Shows Up, What Stands Out
Description
In this episode of Licensure Lifeline, host Matt Lawson breaks down the three most frequently tested neurodevelopmental disorders on the NCE, NCMHCE, and LCSW exams: ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Intellectual Disability. You’ll get clear explanations of each diagnosis, including DSM-5 criteria, how they show up in exam vignettes, and what clinicians need to know about treatment approaches.
This episode features a real-world vignette walkthrough, 5 exam-style questions with rationales, and a new Study Stack Tip that introduces the powerful active recall technique known as “blurting.”
Whether you’re deep into studying or just starting your licensure journey, this episode will help you connect the dots between diagnosis, theory, and clinical decision-making.
