Adapting Therapy for Neurodivergent Children & Young People

As a psychological therapist, you’re deeply committed to the mental health outcomes of children and young people. At The Neurodiversity Practice we understand that working with neurodivergent clients often presents challenges that can leave even the most experienced professionals feeling unsure about how to tailor therapy effectively. From autism, ADHD, learning disability and other learning differences, neurodivergence can at times require creative and flexible approaches to make therapy truly impactful.

Do you ever find yourself asking…

  • “Am I doing enough to connect with my neurodivergent clients?”

  • “How can I adjust therapeutic techniques to meet their individual needs?”

  • “What strategies actually work for sensory, emotional, or communication needs?

  • “How can I empower parents and caregivers to support progress outside therapy?”

If you’ve faced these challenges, you’re not alone—this webinar is here to help.
