Most of my caseload is high school students on the spectrum in social groups. These concepts aren't new to me but it's helpful to hear different perspectives and understand how traditional social skills training can be traumatic, despite our best intentions. This CEU is something every SLP should hear.

Presenter's biases in regard to the use of behavioral strategies such as reward systems and PECS are not supported by research. I did not fully agree with her inference that using these interventions does not support neurodiversity. These are effective strategies and have been very helpful for many autistic children especially for those in the school setting.

Excellent overview with great examples and self-reflections which helped illustrate how our field has changed in the past few years about neurodiversityand neurodivergence. Joleen gave really practical tools and framework for making concrete shifts immediately in assessment, therapy and connection with autistic people. Thank you so much for all the tools and ways to reimagine what's possible for people who are neurodivergent.So much to think through and act on- this was amazing.

I always love learning about and reflecting on neurodiversity affirming practices, and I especially appreciated the way this instructor taught in a gentle & compassionate way. She "called in" the listener and asked them to reflect on their inherent biases without judgment or condemnation. She also provided examples of her own personal growth and how she has changed her approach to therapy over time, providing many great opportunities for reflection and learning! Great course!

Thank you to Joleen Ferbald for sharing such important information about neurodivergence, masking (specifically in girls/women), goal writing, and intervention. The examples provided when compared to a behaviorism model, and how those differ, are so important and should be shared with anyone working providing services as an educator or therapist. I have already recommended this course to a friend with hopes that she still has an account! Im looking forward to completing the follow-up course.

I really appreciated how directly this seminar addressed topics that we don’t talk about often enough in our field. We definitely have an omnipresent neurotypical bias n our field and courses like this are key in getting us to question some of those biases.
by

It was so validating to hear well-reasoned and well-supported evidence for what many of us in the field have felt for so long: autistic (and other neurodivergent) individuals have rich, nuanced lives that should be respected and celebrated rather than treated with coercion and punishing normativity. Thank you for furthering the conversation and opening it in an accessible way to those who may not have been aware of these ideas.

The tone of the presenter was one of openness and acknowledgement of it being an on-going learning process to identify one own’s ableist bias and making our therapy practices and language that which will uplift each individual’s dignity and self-determination. A lot of these types of presentations come off as preachy and only say what not to do, whereas this presenter gave examples of what to do and acknowledged her own learning process.

This has been a huge shift over the last couple of years in my approach is to goal writing , accommodations, parent training, and report writing. The more I can learn, understand how to explain the changes in our approaches to therapy, and increase my awareness of my own shortcomings when it comes to neuro divergent affirming therapy practices the better I will be in the long run. I plan to learn more and grow more in the coming years.

I like how it was focused on the person in therapy and shared insights from adults who were given certain treatments as children and how this was harmful. Not only did it focus on what not to do, but the course also taught what could be done instead. Therefore, it gave tangible steps on how to make a positive change.

This could result in a reexamination of how we approach some long-standing practices.
