Neurodiversity: How to Support Agency and Self-determination
Course: #4316Level: Intermediate 1 Hour 685 Reviews
It is imperative for clinicians and educators to be aware of the neurodiversity movement in order to better support all human rights. This course discusses what neurodiversity is and the history of the movement, as well as the potential for trauma related to behavioral interventions. Case examples demonstrate how to apply a paradigm shift to clinical practice that seeks to accept and celebrate differences rather than mask them. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and is therefore appropriate for the PT/PTA.
