Understanding Pediatric Neurodiversity: Embracing Differences in the Human Brain

Course overview

Have you ever felt 'stuck' delivering therapy to kids with differently wired brains? Oftentimes, children with neurodivergent challenges (autistic, ADHD, etc.) require us to adapt and rethink traditional therapy methods. What if we had a framework for understanding how their brains think and sense the world? This introductory course for all therapy professionals is designed to inform, explore and celebrate the diverse range of neurological differences in the pediatric population. This course aims to foster a deeper understanding of neurodiversity, promote inclusivity, and provide valuable insights into the experiences of individuals with neurodivergent traits. Together we will learn how to support therapists' interactions with clients and create space for a mindset shift within our therapy practices. That feeling like nothing is working to progress towards goals is very real and disappointing to even the most experienced clinician. Let's ditch that together. This course will assist you in providing a new lens in which to view these children that ultimately will empower you and your thinking on how to build connection and improve therapy sessions.
