Providing Support for Neurodivergent Patients: Social Narratives and Sensory Toolkits
Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) is a complex neuro-developmental disorder. Although no two individuals on the spectrum are alike, it is likely that you will interact with an individual who is on the autism spectrum. Understanding Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) as a form of neurodiversity helps shift your mind to think of ASD as a difference, rather than a disorder. In this session you will learn practical strategies to support autistic individuals in a proactive manner.
