Recent research has demonstrated that young children with OCD (ages 4-8) respond favorably to exposure and response prevention treatment. However, protocols must be adapted to meet the unique developmental needs of these children and to address their interconnectedness to the family system. This lecture will review common OCD symptom presentations in this age group and discuss how best to assess for and treat the disorder. Attention will be given to adaptation of treatment materials, management of oppositional behavior, use of motivational techniques to improve treatment compliance, family involvement in treatment, pharmacological interventions, and PANDAS/PANS. Clinical examples and demonstrations will be integrated into the discussion to illustrate how best to implement child-friendly interventions while maintaining fidelity to the ERP model.
