Understanding Spectrum Diagnoses

The usefulness of applying labels to describe children's seemingly related characteristics is tempered by a caution: Despite similarities in labels, children are individuals, displaying unique strengths, challenges, interests, and preferences. Understanding the "spectrum" of diagnostic categories is critical to understanding children's individuality.

  • What the term spectrum means
  • How knowledge of the term spectrum supports looking beyond a child's diagnostic label
  • In what ways understanding the term spectrum can lead to support for children's individuality
