Implementing a Trauma-Informed Affirming Practice for Autistic Clients
Empower your autistic clients with these trauma-informed best practices
There's a paradigm shift that's flipping autism intervention on its head and moving clinicians to a strengths- and abilities-based model that is forever changing the way you work with autistic clients.
As clinicians, you are hearing a lot more about affirming therapeutic approaches now. You’ve been trained, however, in medical models and deficit-based models, and sometimes it feels like there's a misconception between how to take the knowledge that you know from the model that you learned in grad school and juxtapose it with this new neurodiversity affirming model.
That’s why Laura Sibbald, our moderator for the upcoming 3rd Annual Autism Symposium, outlines everything you need to know about the Symposium and provides you with a neurodiversity-informed intervention that you can use right away with your autistic clients!
In this video, Laura Sibbald talks about how to implement a trauma-informed affirming practice to support self-determination in your clients.
And if you're ready to get concrete, neurodiversity-affirming interventions to address the unique needs of your clients, join us at the 3rd Annual Autism Symposium from PESI this April 20-21, 2023! Register for FREE here.
