Upcoming Events
Fri, Jul 18 | Virtual – Neuro-Allies in Therapy (3 CEs)
This presentation will transform how therapists understand and work with their autistic clients. Drawing on lived experience, research, and best practices, Monica Werner and Kat Sharpe will introduce new methods to support the development of an authentic understanding of the autistic developmental experience. They will address the challenges of living in a neurotypical—and often rigid—society and offer approaches and tools to help clients become strong, proud, and successful self-advocates.
Here are just a few reviews from clinicians who have seen this presentation:
“This webinar was exceptional. Monica and Kat’s in-depth discussions of Autistic culture, assimilative masking vs. integrative masking, and the journey to developing a sense of self were invaluable to my work with Autistic clients. I highly recommend this workshop!” — Maria Zimmitti, psychologist
