This training over-delivered on so many levels. It provides an easy to follow, yet comprehensive framework that moved through each stage of assessing and supporting (i.e., treating) Autistic individuals within a neuro-affirming model. I loved how practical it was, yet maintained a strong adherence to evidenced based practice, with many case examples, videos and concrete assessment and intervention tools to use post training. As a clin psych who's been working with neurodivergent people for over 15+years, I'm not easily impressed - and this is easily the best CPD available in working with this population. AMAZING!! Thanks Belinda = )
