Description
Research shows that only 2 out of 44 clinicians feel competent working with autistic clients.
This unfortunately creates a huge gap in accessible treatment and services for this population. It also contributes to a negative stigma in the world of mental health that is not empowering or inclusive for autistic individuals.
Let’s bridge the gap in accessible services for autistic individuals who desire and deserve the same mental health access as everyone else and become a part of the solution!
Join Tosha Rollins, MA, LPC, ASDCS, to discover evidence-based strategies that create an inclusive therapeutic experience and environment as well as improve positive treatment outcomes for your autistic clients. In this session, you’ll learn how to effectively:
- Build rapport with your autistic clients
- Assess areas of functional impairment
- Set individualized goals and objectives for treatment planning
- Apply modified CBT interventions to target 11 areas of executive functioning to:
- Identify function and context for behavior
- Improve emotional identification and regulation
- Develop social/emotional communication skills
- Improve executive functioning, emotional intelligence, theory of mind, self-regulation
- Treat GAD, depression, OCD, ADHD, adjustment disorder
- Adapt clinical environment: In-office and online
- Prevent insurance claim denials related to autism diagnosis
- Improve your autistic clients’ overall quality of life
After this training, you’ll have a sense of confidence which ripples beyond the therapy room, into a positive mental health stigma for autistic individuals.
