$80.00

Presented by: Anita Robertson, LCSW

2 CE Hours

Description:

Neurodiverse relationships have common challenges that can impact one’s sex life. These challenges originate from not understanding how brain and body differences impact executive functioning in ADHD. This course will summarize the common challenges found in Anita’s book: ADHD & Us: A Couple’s Guide to Loving and Living with Adult ADHD and how to apply the Five Relationship Pillars to one’s sex life. Research will be summarized on why sensory processing needs to be included in assessment and treatment when ADHD and/or Autism is present. The course will provide an overview of the sensory processing systems and how it presents in the neurodivergent individuals. Clinicians will be given ways to incorporate sensory processing into their interventions.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Describe how common challenges in ADHD & non-ADHD relationships are connected to executive functioning.
  2. List the 5 Relationship Pillars for ADHD and how to apply them in sex therapy.
  3. Introduce sensory processing systems and how it can impact a neurodiverse relationship.
  4. How to incorporate sensory processing into your interventions.
