We redefine Autism from an Autistic perspective, examine the ways in which neurodiversity can help you to reframe your thinking about Autism, and discuss how this new understanding can inform the way you approach and support the Autistic clients in your care.
Using the theoretical underpinnings of double empathy and radical acceptance, we explore what Autism is from an Autistic perspective, so that professionals have the requisite knowledge to understand how to foster Autistic authenticity. Part of the learning is focused on some basic neuroscience, so that professionals can understand some of the complexity of the Autistic brain, to be able to work with Autistic neurology. Understanding the Autistic neurotype is key for professionals engaging with their Autistic clients with compassion and empathy.
We also explore the neurodiversity paradigm in more depth, and examine some traditional approaches to Autism (like thinking of the spectrum as linear) from a neurodiversity perspective. From a neurodiversity perspective, we thus explore Autism as an identity, and reframe Autistic communication, body language, stimming, sensory processing and social skills.
In terms of practical information, we also explore the need for relational connections over external motivators, and give some more information about what a strengths-based and person-centred approach looks like when engaging with Autistic clients therapeutically.
This presentation is ideal for psychologists, social workers, speech pathologists, occupational therapists and other allied health professionals working with Autistic children or adults.
This presentation will explore the concept of neurodiversity and the various ways in which people can be neurodivergent, including Autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more. We will delve into the unique strengths and benefits that neurodivergent individuals bring to the workplace, such as creativity, attention to detail, and problem-solving skills. We will also address the challenges that neurodivergent employees may face, from sensory sensitivities to social misunderstandings, and how these can impact their success in a traditional environment. Most importantly, the presentation will provide practical strategies and best practices to create a more inclusive, supportive environment for neurodivergent staff.
This presentation is ideal for employers who want to foster a more inclusive environment for their teams and can be tailored to include supporting volunteers as well as employees.
It is well evidenced that parents and carers of neurodivergent children experience significant challenges, and often have poorer mental health and quality and of life outcomes than parents and carers of typically developing children. But why is this so? What are the specific needs of these parents? And what about the support needs of the parents of neurodivergent children who are themselves neurodivergent? This event aims to explore these questions. Together we will consider the role of stigma, judgement and parent-blaming; acceptance and inclusion; formal and informal supports; systems and communities, and co-occurring conditions (including mental health) in creating or eroding personal wellbeing, to consider the enablers (and barriers) to achieving flourishing so that we can collectively understand – and indeed meet! – the support needs of carers of neurodivergent children.
This presentation is great for organisations who support parents and caregivers.
All of our on-demand courses and webinars are available at bulk prices. Contact us if your organisation is interested.
The Reframing Autism team would like to acknowledge the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we have the privilege to learn, work, and grow. Whilst we gather on many different parts of this Country, the RA team walk on the land of the Awabakal, Birpai, Whadjak, and Wiradjuri peoples.
We are committed to honouring the rich culture of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples of this Country, and the diversity and learning opportunities with which they provide us. We extend our gratitude and respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, and to all Elders past and present, for their wisdom, their resilience, and for helping this Country to heal.
