Training & Presentations
I am deeply committed to helping people understand the autistic and ADHD experience, so they may shift their clinical, agency, and educational approaches to better meet neurodivergent youth, adults, and families. It has been a great gift to have had the opportunity to present to hospitals, schools and universities, professional conferences and clinical teams over the past ten years, and I welcome requests for training and presentations, both in-person* and virtual.
Common presentation topics include:
-
Supporting neurodivergent individuals and their families.
-
Strategies for improving access and effectiveness of medical care for autistic, ADHD and other neurodivergent youth and adults.
-
Somatic strategies to support attunement with and for ND people.
-
Working with complex issues and presentations.
I seek out and include research and resources on BIPOC neurodivergent experiences thoughout my presentations. For longer trainings, and for any presentations directly focused on intersectional neurodivergent identities, I co-present with neurodivergent BIPOC presenters.
If I believe your training request would be better met by a presenter with different cultural and life experiences than my own, I will offer to you some other possible trainers to consider.
*Please know that I limit long-distance travel to reduce my carbon footprint.
