A Skills Development Webinar designed to equip psychological therapists with the knowledge and tools to adapt therapy for neurodivergent children and young people. This training webinar was recorded live on 24th April 2025.
As a psychological therapist or allied health professional, you’re deeply committed to the mental health outcomes of children and young people.
At The Neurodiversity Practice we understand that working with neurodivergent clients often presents challenges that can leave even the most experienced professionals feeling unsure about how to tailor their practice effectively. From autism, ADHD, learning disability and other learning differences, neurodivergence can at times require creative and flexible approaches to make therapy and support truly impactful.
Do you ever find yourself asking…
“Am I doing enough to connect with my neurodivergent clients?”
“How can I adjust therapeutic or support techniques to meet their individual needs?”
“What strategies actually work for sensory, emotional, or communication needs?
“How can I empower parents and caregivers to support progress outside therapy?”
If you’ve faced these challenges, you’re not alone, this webinar is here to help.
