Supporting Autistic Clients Masterclass

Working with autistic clients demands a deep understanding of their unique perspectives and experiences. Autism involves a distinct neurological structure and developmental trajectory, meaning conventional theories and interventions may not only fall short but can also cause unintended harm. This immersive 4-hour online Masterclass offers an in-depth exploration of how clinicians can adapt their current practices to provide more effective and compassionate care, promoting better outcomes for autistic clients.

Under the guidance of Dr. Mary P. Donahue (clinical psychologist) and Lisa Morgan (social worker and lived experience expert), you will gain insight into the specific needs of autistic clients and learn how to establish effective, trust-based relationships from initial contact through to goal completion. The Masterclass blends current research with real-world lived experiences, equipping you with practical tools and strategies to implement more appropriate interventions and improve client outcomes.
