Skills for Screening ADHD and Autism in Adults
Learn which screening tools to use, how to bring up the topic with clients, and how to discuss results in an affirming way.
Free screener report template included
Course Overview
You don't need formal assessment or testing skills to support ADHD and autistic adult clients. This course equips you to incorporate screening into your current clinical approach: why to screen, which tools to use, and how to discuss results in an affirming way. Includes a free note template.
Course Description:
Assessment and/or testing skills are not required for mental health clinicians to support ADHD and/or autistic adult clients. A formal attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and/or autism diagnosis is also not required. Instead, mental health clinicians can help clients by incorporating screening into their current clinical approach(es). This training will list reasons for mental health counselors to screen clients for ADHD and/or autism. Screening tools that mental health counselors can use will be noted and explained. Then the training will wrap up with how to discuss ADHD and/or autism screening results with clients.
Learning Objectives:
- Understand about five reasons to screen adult clients for ADHD and/or autism
- Recall at least three screening tools for ADHD and/or autism
- Apply around four aspects of discussing ADHD and/or autism screening results with adult clients that are affirming
