Evolving With Care

The DC:0-5 Review Process

ZERO TO THREE is proud to launch a collaborative review of the DC:0–5 Diagnostic Classification of Mental Health and Developmental Disorders of Infancy and Early Childhood. This effort reflects our ongoing commitment to ensure the manual stays aligned with science, practice, and families' needs.

Guided by a diverse group of experts across research, practice, and policy, the review process is part of our regular cycle of reflection and refinement. The goal is to strengthen a trusted resource that professionals around the world use to support the mental health of babies, toddlers, and their families.

We look forward to sharing updates as this inclusive and thoughtful process moves forward.
