Neurodivergent clients, including individuals with autism, ADHD, and dyslexia, often face stigma and misunderstanding in mental health settings. Traditional models may overlook or pathologize their strengths and needs. This session explores neurodiversity-affirming strategies for working with neurodivergent individuals across the lifespan. Using a strengths-based lens, we’ll examine clinical considerations, engagement challenges, and tools for creating sensory-safe, affirming environments, illustrated by case studies and client narratives.
