This is a 10 hour self-paced online training. Developed by Grace Myhill, MSW, the course includes in depth lectures from Grace and other experts in the field, including insights and observations from a panel of therapists who work with neurodiverse couples. In addition to hearing from professionals, you will get an intimate peek into the lives of 10 neurodiverse couples as they share their experiences and the complexities of being in a neurodiverse relationship.
CERTIFICATION 201: Case Presentations and Advanced Topics in Neurodiverse Couples Therapy is for those who want to hone their skills and knowledge about working with neurodiverse couples in therapy. Classes will meet 8 times for 90 minutes by video conference.
With a small group of 5 - 8 fellow clinicians, participants will hear short lectures by Grace Myhill, MSW on topics such as telling a couple they are neurodiverse, dealing with meltdowns, and discussing physical intimacy. Participants will also present and discuss their own clients, as well as have a Q & A session with a neurodiverse couple and with a specialist in the field of neurodiverse couples therapy.

The 21st Century has seen significant increases in the type and frequency of events that impact our health and welfare. These range from public health emergencies like Ebola and measles to acts of violence like terrorism and school shootings to ever-increasing climate related disasters such as hurricanes and wildfires. Children, especially those with special health care needs and disabilities, are among the most vulnerable people in these events. This talk will describe some of these threats with an emphasis on their impact on children and strategies to improve preparedness, response, and recovery for the whole community.

Technologies play an essential role in our everyday life, and for individuals with disabilities, they help increase their independence and capacity to engage fully in daily activities, and in academic and vocational programs. With technological advances, many assistive technology (AT) devices and services are now available to assist individuals with disabilities in overcoming the challenges that largely result from difficulties in acquiring the requisite skills needed to perform a particular task. This tour of the Maryland Technology Assistance Program Library will offer participants the opportunity to see and learn about some of the newest AT on the market, and how AT can best help them, their friends and families, and individuals with disabilities remove barriers associated with task performance. Participants will also learn about AT services, financial loan programs and the loan application process, and how to advocate for AT use at home, school and agencies, and in the community.
