Therapeutic Considerations for Autistic Clients (1 CE)
Neurodiversity-affirming care is an important step forward in the mental health field. Autistic clients in particular have a long history of harm from traditional models of care. While other courses have explored the research behind neurodiversity-affirming care, it is vital that providers not only understand this approach to helping our clients, but also to have specific, actionable interventions we can use in our sessions. This course explores why neurodiversity-affirming care benefits autistic clients, the historical harms, and specific tools you can use with your autistic clients in sessions.
This course consists of a 45-minute lecture and 15-minute homework assignment for one CE credit.
