For this week’s assignment, you will apply our knowledge of interventions with children to the case of Tony (Week 6 Case Study).

For the case of Tony:

Complete a differential diagnosis:

Highlight the symptoms you think are relevant to assigning a clinical diagnosis and their duration (when possible). 

List all potential diagnoses based on the symptoms you identified in step one. 

Identify your primary diagnosis.  You can have a secondary and/or rule-out diagnosis.  A rule-out diagnosis is when you suspect another diagnosis but do not have enough information to make that diagnosis.  

Discuss how you will screen for any safety concerns.  

Describe at least two interventions you can use to treat Tony based on your diagnosis. 

Support your assignment with at least three scholarly resources. In addition to these specified resources, other appropriate scholarly resources, including seminal articles, may be included.
