Date: June 8, 2026
Time: 5-7 PM EST
This training explores how trauma, chronic stress, and attachment disruption can present with symptoms commonly attributed to autism and ADHD. Participants will learn practical frameworks for differential diagnosis using developmental history, assessment data, and clinical observation. The session emphasizes ethical clarity, culturally responsive practice, and how to communicate nuanced findings to clients and families. Case examples will be used to illustrate common diagnostic pitfalls and best practices.
Training Title: Neurodivergence Series: Training 1 – Neurodivergence & Identity-Centered Practice
Date: June 22, 2026
Time: 5-7 PM EST
This training explores neurodivergence as an identity shaped by culture, power, and nervous system differences rather than pathology alone. Participants will examine how neurotypical assumptions show up in therapy through pacing, communication norms, and expectations around regulation, insight, and engagement. The training offers practical, identity-affirming frameworks to support neurodivergent clients without retraumatization or forced normalization.
