Strengths-Based Practices in Action: Supporting Your Autistic Clients to Learn, Play & Thrive

Description

Meg Ferrell, OTR/L has spent the last decade interviewing Autistic professionals to learn how our practices can better support the deepest needs of our Autistic clients. In this training, learners will deeply consider what it means for Autistic people - including multiply-marginalized Autistic people - to authentically thrive.

You'll then learn a concrete process for strengths-based treatment planning and apply it to a case study in an active, collaborate process with other attendees. You'll leave this training confident in your ability to center your Autistic clients' authentic well-being in planning your sessions.
