Understanding the Neurodiversity Affirming Philosophy of Care
On Demand 4hr CEU Training through the Touchstone Institute
About
Throughout this training, participants will cultivate a neurodiversity-affirming lens and bolster confidence in supporting their neurodivergent (ND) clients. Starting with case conceptualization, the training will emphasize how intersectional oppression, including ableism, heightens client vulnerability to trauma and misdiagnosis. Additionally, participants will gain insights into ND-affirming treatment planning and receive an introduction to best practices for adapting therapeutic interventions for neurodivergent clients.
Facilitated by three neurodivergent clinicians, the training draws from the professional and lived experiences of the presenters, integrating emerging research and best practices. Upon completion of this training, participants will understand key aspects of the neurodiversity-affirming movement and possess actionable methods to integrate foundational principles for affirming care into their clinical settings.

NeuroAffirming Therapy
As an AuDHD clinician who primarily serves neurodivergent clients, I have spent the past three years devoting myself to learning the ins and outs of this important and emerging philosophy of care. I blend intersectionality, anti-oppressive practices, neuroqueering, and Critical Disability Theory to create an accessible pathway for each consultee to understand the nuances of what it means to be an ND Affirming therapist. With ND Affirming becoming such a buzz word in therapy spaces, I am passionate about ensuring that your practice aligns with the principles of the philosophy.
