No, this certification focuses on teaching diverse practitioners how to work with clients from a neurodiversity-focused, client-centered, strengths-based lens. The field of therapy has shifted away from ABA and behavior-based interventions in favor of more affirming, respectful, and non-stigmatizing approaches. This course harnesses those powerful approaches including EMDR, Internal Family Sytems, Play Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, DIRFloortime(R), Motivational Interviewing, and many more so you can offer individualized sessions that are as unique as your clients.
More and more, both potential clients and employers are looking for clinicians with specific training tailored to their preferences. In particular, the sensitivities needed to support on the autism spectrum have changed rapidly over the last few years. For more than 30 years behavior-based interventions dominated treatment, and now, we've moved away from the idea of 'treatment' entirely toward acceptance and adapting strategies to support these clients. This certification bridges these changes with cutting-edge modalities like EMDR, Internal Family Systems, Play Therapy, Polyvagal Theory, DIRFloortime(R), Motivational Interviewing, and many more so you can offer individualized sessions that are as unique as your clients.
