Join us for a groundbreaking 3-hour CEU training that fulfills the new requirement by the Alabama Board of Social Work Examiners (ABSWE) for Clinical Social Workers, mandating three DSM Training Hours. Hosted by Aspire Counseling & Consulting Services, this live virtual event will empower clinicians with the knowledge and tools needed to assess Autism and ADHD in women through a gender and diversity-informed lens.

Led by Amanda Riendeau, LCSW-S, and Dr. Jennifer Ritchie, Psy.D., this session delves into the unique challenges and nuances of diagnosing Autism and ADHD in women, ensuring cultural sensitivity and inclusivity in clinical practices.

Objectives:

  1. Understand Gender Differences: Learn how Autism and ADHD present differently in women compared to men and why these differences often lead to underdiagnosis.
  2. Recognize Behavioral and Cognitive Traits: Identify unique behavioral and cognitive characteristics, including masking and camouflaging behaviors.
  3. Incorporate Cultural Sensitivity: Adjust assessment practices to account for the role of cultural background in symptom expression.
  4. Address Challenges in Current Diagnostic Tools: Explore and overcome gender and cultural biases in existing diagnostic methods.
  5. Apply Effective Assessment Strategies: Gain practical skills in using gender-informed and culturally sensitive approaches for accurate diagnoses.
