Seminar Overview
Autism Strategies and Neurodiversity Affirming Practices in Early Childhood

Join Cari for a full-day training on making the shift to neurodiversity affirming practices. Topics on reframing autism include the following: moving from deficit-driven to strengths-based language in documentation, autism signs in young children under age 5, talking to parents about autism, racial and gender disparities in diagnosing autism, models of disability, understanding neurodiversity, gestalt language development, presuming competence, and so much more! Participants will leave this training with a plan for supporting Autistic toddlers and preschoolers by focusing on goals and strategies to support regulation, connection, and communication. Whether your staff provides services in the home, clinic, or early childhood classroom setting, this course will jump-start their transition to becoming neurodiversity affirming providers.
