Program Summary:

There is a growing body of research and awareness around the concept of Neurodiversity and how it impacts the quality of life of individuals. Mental health providers are often on the front lines of helping their clients identify, diagnose, and find strategies to maximize any diagnoses of neurodiversity. This training will train participants on recommended language for discussing these conditions, questions to ask to better understand and make an accurate diagnosis, as well as recommendations for treatment. Using Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as the core example, participants will leave better understanding a differential diagnosis, a treatment plan, and fundamental interventions that can be used in an outpatient setting to support clients.

Learning Objectives:

  • Participants will be able to recognize signs of neurodiversity, particularly autism.

  • Participants will understand the basics of neurodiversity affirming care.

  • Participants will feel comfortable using at least three interventions to better support neurodiverse clients.
