2. Differentiate deviations from the normal behavioral response to daily functioning and transitions.
3. Use appropriate anticipatory guidance, support, education, consultation, surveillance, screening, collaborative management, and referrals to facilitate a positive mental and physical health outcome for the child and family.
4. Critically appraise available evidence-based resources in the design of appropriate strategies for addressing developmental and behavioral concerns in practice and community sites.
5. Compose a personally tailored conceptual guide to the assessment and intervention of common behavioral problems in children that takes into consideration the context of culture, family and parent-child interaction, social/community/environment, and current best practice tools available.
