Neuro Affirmative Treatment for Autistic Adults and Teens
PRESENTER: Jessica Penot, LPC-S
Jessica Penot, author of the unmasking workbook for autistic adults, will also go over how to integrate Unmasking and Acceptance therapy into your practice and help autistic adults learn the neurodiversity-affirming skills to help them live authentically, avoid burnout, and thrive!
Learn the basic information needed to begin to treat autistic adults and teens in this in person seminar. We will go over the new and emerging research from the last five-ten years that has radically changed the way we relate to and understand autism spectrum disorder. After this seminar you will understand the history of autism and the self-advocacy movement in online environments that has changed the way autistic people relate to themselves and others.
