The neurodiversity lens

Neurodiversity-affirming approaches to transform your practice and improve outcomes for clients.

Everything we do that involves other people requires social and communication skills. These skills are often underdeveloped for autistic and other neurodivergent people.

By improving knowledge of and best practices for working with autistic, ADHD, and other neurodivergent clients, your organization or practice will improve outcomes for your clients as well as transform your organizational culture to attract and retain diverse talent.

HOW IT WORKS

We offer multiple training packages to meet your organizational needs and budget.

HALF-DAY TRAINING

Our half-day training consists of three hours of educational seminar, usually delivered via Zoom video conference.

6-week program

Our immersive training is a six-week program meant to be a more in-depth training for clinicians, practitioners, and direct support workers whose clients or patients are neurodivergent. Our training is a social and sensational model, rather then a behavioral health based compliance perspective. We help you to become more effective across every intervention through increased awareness, knowledge, and inclusivity practices.

customized for your organization

All of our neurodiversity trainings start with a a discovery process to gauge awareness and knowledge, and identify any organizational weaknesses or biases. We will provide all necessary materials used in the trainings. We also survey participants after each training to ensure the information has been fully understood and to assist with implementation.

All trainings begin with a free discovery call to discuss your organization’s needs and schedule the program.
