Inclusive Therapeutic Practices to Work with Autistic Adolescents & Adults

---

Research shows that only 2 out of 44 clinicians feel competent working with autistic clients.

This unfortunately creates a huge gap in accessible treatment and services for this population. It also contributes to a negative stigma in the world of mental health that is not empowering or inclusive for autistic individuals.

Let’s bridge the gap in accessible services for autistic individuals who desire and deserve the same mental health access as everyone else and become a part of the solution!

Join Tosha Rollins, MA, LPC, ASDCS, to discover evidence-based strategies that create an inclusive therapeutic experience and environment as well as improve positive treatment outcomes for your autistic clients. In this session, you’ll learn how to effectively:

• Build rapport with your autistic clients
• Assess areas of functional impairment
• Set individualized goals and objectives for treatment planning
• Apply modified CBT interventions to target 11 areas of executive functioning to:
  • Identify function and context for behavior

  • Treat GAD, depression, OCD, ADHD, adjustment disorder
  • Adapt clinical environment: In-office and online
