Incorporating neurodiversity into your therapeutic framework ethically involves:

  • Affirmative Practice: Acknowledge and affirm the neurodivergent identity of your clients, recognising neurodiversity as a valid aspect of human variation rather than a deficit or disorder.
  • Client-Centered Approach: Ensure that your interventions are client-centered, respecting their choices and autonomy in the therapeutic process. Collaborate with clients to set goals that align with their values and aspirations.
  • Continuous Learning: Commit to ongoing education and supervision regarding neurodiversity, staying informed about best practices and ethical considerations to provide the most supportive and effective care possible.
