Understanding Autism, making your practice autism friendly
On Sale
£0.00
Autism is defined by the National Autistic Society as 'a lifelong developmental disability that affects how a person communicates with and relates to other people, and how they experience the world around them'. Around 700,000 people in the UK may be autistic, or more than 1% of the population, so it's quite likely that some of the clients who present to your practice are on the autistic spectrum. You may not necessarily be working with them for issues directly connected to their autism, but the condition is inevitably part of their personality and how they respond to the world. By understanding it - and them - more fully, you can make the experience of therapy as positive and easy as possible.
This course looks at wider issues around autism rather than specific therapeutic approaches because we wanted to make it useful for therapists of all types and all theoretical persuasions, as well as those who run other services likely to be accessed by autistic people. It will help you adapt the way you run your practice to make your business as accessible as possible to those on the spectrum.
It is written by a family team, both experienced authors. Debbie Waller is a respected therapist, writer, speaker and trainer. She is also Mum to Rae, who just happens to be on the Autistic spectrum and who works as a drafter, editor, proofreader and sensitivity reader for both fiction and non-fiction.
