CPD WORKSHOP

Not So Typical: An Introduction to Neurodiversities

About The Workshop

Neurodiversity is becoming more prominent, with an increasing number of adults recognising that they identify as ADHD, autistic or both. This workshop is an informative day explaining Autism, ADHD, and lesser-known neurodiverse conditions such as Pathological Demand Avoidance (PDA) and Rejection Sensitivity Disorder (RSD). The focus will be on looking at Neurodiversity as more than a list of symptoms and deficits.

There will be opportunities for discussion and to ask questions as well as the theoretical side of the biopsychosocial model of Neurodiversity.

This course will provide 6.5 hours CPD including a certificate and is certified by the CPD Certification Service.
