Presented by Laure-Marie Carignan, PhD, RP 

Laure-Marie has maintained a clinical practice for over 25 years.  She is inspired by personal experience and fueled by her PhD research, she has been a passionate advocate of the neurodiversity movement for several years.

Workshop summary:

Awareness of autism spectrum conditions, particularly at the high end of the spectrum, has increased significantly in recent years.  Popularized in the media, yet not always well understood, this most recent frontier of the diversity movement has led to significant advances in our understanding of neurotypical bias and its implications in clinical settings.  This dynamic and very practical workshop aims to develop clinical competence in present and future psychotherapists who will most certainly encounter neurodiversity in their practice.  The workshop will include learning about the recognition of neurodiversity in a therapeutic context and issues arising from neurodiversity and neurotypical bias in individual, couple and family therapy.  Participants will learn how to talk about neurodiversity with clients, spouses and family members.  The workshop will also cover avoidance of the negative impact of neurotypical bias in treatment planning and the therapeutic process and the workshop will focus on specific intervention modalities in light of neurodiversity.
