This session aims to give practical information and tools for assessing trans kids as well as producing reports for medical and surgical intervention in the treatment of gender dysphoria. Following a brief introduction and focus on language and childhood gender dysphoria, the essential features and procedure of evaluation for gender dysphoria, including the Gender Feeling Amplitude, will be discussed. The emphasis will be on obtaining pertinent history and information needed to establish the degree of gender dysphoria, the need for therapy, and potential solutions. Inclusion and support for parents throughout the evaluation, as well as collaboration with parents for interventions, will be discussed. Letter requirements for endocrinologists and surgeons will be discussed, with examples demonstrating how evidence sourced from the assessment is used to meet the criteria using both the Australian Standards of Care & Treatment Guidelines: For trans and gender diverse children & adolescents and the World Professional Association for Transgender Health’s Standards of Care (V7). The evaluation will include adolescents (assigned either female or male at birth) considering hormonal therapies or surgery. It will also be discussed how to assess if hormonal or surgical therapy is in the best interests of the client. Clips from an assessment film will be shown to demonstrate components of the assessment process, and activities will be offered to help you practice translating information from the assessment to the evidence necessary in writing reports. You will also be directed to transgender resource services in your state/territory. This event will also provide school guidance and assistance. Please bring your questions to allow for a client-focused conversation during the day’s final section.
