Strategies to Meet Needs of Clients with Autism
Characteristics of ASD often challenge health care delivery, therapies, and counseling. Service providers are frequently unfamiliar with the specifics of autism and are therefore unclear on how to best interact with clients. This can lead to suboptimal experiences for both patients and caregivers. In this presentation, Sandy explains autism, decreases stereotypes, and improves understanding of the unique needs of autistic patients. She strives to break down barriers, clarify potential triggers, and present strategies that lead to improved experiences and stress reduction.
This talk is ideal for medical professionals, physical & occupational therapists, counselors, psychologists, child life workers, and ancillary staff. It may also be valuable for school personnel and support staff.
Sandy is a retired registered nurse who knows firsthand the needs and constraints of health care professionals, as well as the needs of patients on the spectrum. Let her help bridge the gap to improve mutual satisfaction and goal attainment for both clients and providers.
