April Initiatives
April is Autism Acceptance and Neurodiversity Month
CTAMFT recognizes April as Autism Acceptance and Neurodiversity Month—an important time to celebrate the strengths, voices, and experiences of autistic individuals and all neurodivergent people. As therapists, it’s essential that we continue to expand our understanding of neurodiversity and embrace inclusive, affirming practices that honor neurological differences.
Below you can find resources for clinicians to help in deepening our knowledge and enhancing our work with neurodivergent clients across the lifespan. Whether you’re looking to explore neurodivergent-affirming language, learn more about autism beyond stereotypes, or discover strategies for inclusive care, we invite you to read the materials and engage in conversation about what this means for you in your practice!
Together, we can foster a more inclusive and affirming mental health community!
