Summary:
Take a dive into what it means to be neurodivergent, and learn some of the ways neurodivergence presents in our clients’ daily lives. This presentation will provide guidance for ways to integrate neurodivergent sensitivity into your treatment planning. Using the biopsychosocial approach, view behavior in context, identify the contextual factors impacting neurodivergent clients, and learn to connect with them in an affirming and validating way. Using a competency-focused approach, reduce clinician frustration and burnout, and
allow clients the space they need to show competency in their own way.
