FREE: TxSAIGE Presents- Neurodiversity and Transgender Identities: Ways to Support Clients
5/3/2024 - 5/3/2024
12:00 PM - 1:30 PM CST

Event Description
The convergence of neurodiversity and trans identities is a surprisingly common occurrence. Counselors can increase their competence working with transgender populations by having an awareness of how neurodiversity impacts this population. Presenters will share key characteristics of neurodivergent (with a focus on Autism and ADHD) trans populations about which counselors should be aware, and how counselors can support common issues that emerge for these populations in the counseling relationship. Participants will learn about basic counseling strategies to support neurodiverse trans populations, with goals, knowledge, practical tools, and strategies that can help support these clients through the counseling relationship.
