Course Description
Continuing Education Hours: 4.5
This training will focus on working with adults and children who are neurodiverse. We will focus on how to approach work and healing specifically with clients with Autism, ADHD/ADD with a trauma informed approach. We will fully explain neurodiversity varies from the neurotypical brain in terms of regulation, thinking, and relationships. Participants will discover how the interaction between the internal wiring in the brain, relationship, and the environment can be modified and accommodations can be put in place to support clients with neurodiversity. The training will also address practices to best serve this population when they are healing from trauma.
