Human Givens College - Working Effectively with Neurodivergent Clients – Practical CPD for Educational Psychologists

How can we make our practice more genuinely neuro-inclusive – and help neurodivergent children, young people and families feel understood, safe and supported?

This practical, strengths-based workshop will deepen your understanding of autism and ADHD and explore simple, effective adaptations that can make a significant difference to the way you communicate, build relationships and support neurodivergent clients.

You’ll discover how to:

• Recognise the invisible barriers neurodivergent people may face when accessing support 
• Adapt your communication and approach to build stronger, more trusting relationships
• Create helping environments where neurodivergent clients feel safe and at ease 
• Gather information more effectively, including when clients experience unfocused thinking, tangents or literal interpretation 
• Set realistic, motivating goals that work with – rather than against – neurodivergent traits 
• Identify and harness strengths and untapped resources 
• Reduce overwhelm and support clients through change 
• Help neurodivergent children and young people develop confidence, self-esteem and practical strategies for everyday challenges

The workshop combines current understanding of neurodiversity with practical tools, exercises and real-world examples that you can take straight into your practice.

Ideal for Educational Psychologists and professionals supporting neurodivergent children, young people and families.

Develop a more confident, compassionate and genuinely neuro-inclusive approach to your practice.
