Description

Autistic individuals report feeling misunderstood by providers, teachers, and family members, which affects the types and effectiveness of interventions offered. So instead of thriving, many are merely surviving. For this to change, those supporting autistics need to develop a deeper empathetic lens to look through.

Watch Kim Clairy, OTR/L, an autistic occupational therapist as she shares her inner world. You’ll learn how to apply evidence-based strategies through an autistic lens to address sensory, emotional, executive functioning, social, and communication challenges autistic individuals often experience. Additionally, you will learn ways to uncover and treat the root of problematic behaviors while also respecting autism’s unique ways of processing the world.
