Considering Adaptations to DBT for Neurodiversity – 13 August 2025
An online live training using Zoom. APAC-DBT members (full and associate): free. Guests: high income country AU$25, lower income country AU$15. Country discounts will be applied at the checkout.
Description
Accurate recognition of neurodiversity is increasing internationally, and with it comes the recognition that there are neurodevelopmental, sensory and social cognitive differences in neurodiverse people. As a result, accessing neuroaffirmative treatment models can be very challenging, and at times can perpetuate an invalidating environment. This presentation will explore some of the key considerations when working with neurodiverse clients, (including learning styles, sensory processing differences and attentional control) and together we will explore the implications for case conceptualisation, treatment modifications and environmental adaptations that may be helpful.
