Neurodiversity-Affirming Psychological Evaluations: ADHD and Autism (3 CEs)
Neurodiversity-affirming mental health care refers to an approach to service that recognizes and honors the wide range of diversity among human brains, empowering and respecting our clients rather than speaking over them. Unfortunately, this approach is not the mainstream. In recent years, a push toward centering lived experience and empowering clients has made strides in undoing the harm caused by non-affirming care. Autistic and ADHD communities in particular have called for an overhaul of how we approach diagnosing and supporting these individuals. This course is essential education for any provider who conducts ADHD or autism evaluations to ensure that you are keeping up with best practice and standards of care.
This course consists of a two-hour lecture and one-hour self-guided assignment, for a total of three continuing education credits. It is pre-recorded for home study, to be completed at your own pace.
