There is an increasing need and demand for therapists to understand the Neurodiversity Paradigm and to implement neurodiversity-affirming care in practice. Increasing numbers of clients are being diagnosed and/or self-identify with Autism and/or ADHD, but most therapists have had little (or no) training in accurately identifying and supporting these clients. This training provides an overview of the Neurodiversity Paradigm and neurodiversity-affirming care, with a focus on Autism and ADHD.
