Identifying Neurodivergence
Awareness of neurodivergence has exploded in the last 10 years, but unfortunately many of us working in the allied health space received minimal formal education in this area. This 2.5 hr webinar is for allied health and medical professionals wanting to improve their screening and practice skills to provide best-practice + neurodiversity affirming care when working with neurodivergent clients and patients.
The training will cover:
The neurodiversity affirming paradigm and the social model of disability.
Common misconceptions around neurodivergence.
The core neurobiology of autism and ADHD, including the overlap of these two diagnoses, common co-occurring conditions, and key factors that differentiate autism and ADHD from other conditions.
How autism and ADHD present in women and girls.
How to screen for neurodivergence in your clients or patients, and what to do next if neurodivergence is suspected.
Key strategies and factors to be aware of when working with neurodivergent clients or patients.
