About
Clinical psychologists working with any population will be often have neurodiverse individuals accessing their services.
Such individuals may have a range of specific needs that might require us to make adaptations to our standard ways of working, and this day will help you to make those adaptations.
Through a combination of shared knowledge from selected speakers and workshops to focus on your own clinical practice, you will leave the day with an extended set of skills to enhance your therapeutic practice.
