Course overview

linicians, while many of us discuss providing strength-based care, it's easy to unintentionally lean towards deficit-based interventions. Despite good intentions, we might find ourselves trying to fix things. While this approach works well in an emergency room when dealing with a broken arm, it can be dangerously disrespectful when working with autistic clients. In our role, we're tasked with helping individuals overcome challenges, but it's crucial to avoid the mindset of fixing an autistic person. Join Jeffrey J. Guenzel, MA, LPC, as he delves into three key principles of DIR(R)--following the person's lead, expanding, and elaborating--to showcase an effective model for strength-based care across various modalities. Using a case example featuring parents who applied these strategies with their son, unlocking his passion and transforming their family's world. This inspiring duo will vividly bring these clinical concepts to life by sharing their personal journey. Don't miss this opportunity to enhance your approach to strength-based care.
