About this course

In this course (the second in our two-part series on this topic), Dr. Mary Donahue (Ph.D.) and Lisa Morgan (LCSW-CC, M.Ed.) review and expand upon the cultural & sensory considerations for working with autistic clients, working from a foundational presumption of competence on the part of the client. Common co-occurring disorders are noted, tips for improving efficacy are offered, and potentially effective forms of intervention – as well as specific interventions – are described. An extended role play with discussion adds much depth and clarity to the theoretical portion of this masterclass. <br><br>The first course in this series is titled <a href='/catalogue/courses/enhancing-communication-and-care-meeting-the-needs-of-autistic-individuals-in-therapy'>Enhancing Communication and Care: Meeting the Needs of Autistic Individuals in Therapy</a>.
