Become a Certified Neurodiversity Sexuality Professional
This 40-credit program, consisting of 10 classes, is one of the first to enhance the study of sexology through a neurodiverse lens. Increasingly, practitioners are expanding their purview of neurodiversity and necessarily broadening their clinical frameworks. This certification addresses fundamental elements of the neurodiversity paradigm, looking specifically at the challenges our neurodiverse clients face to create and sustain healthy relationships and sexual health through a sex-positive lens. Experiences commonly associated with neurodivergence include communication difficulties, anxiety, depression, sensory processing challenges and trauma, and can be supported with a variety of sexological approaches. The Neurodiversity Certification enables sexuality professionals to feel comfortable working with emerging methodologies ideal for neurodiverse clients, and is designed to allow students to flexibly work around their schedules by streaming the content-rich courses at their own convenience. Courses can be taken in any order, but they are structured to ramp up from introductory to advanced knowledge content. This certification includes courses such as Fundamentals of Neurodiversity in Couples Therapy, Sex Education and Neurodiversity, Somatic Approaches to Working with Neurodiverse Clients, and Autism, BDSM & Kink for Neurodiverse Clients.
