This course provides a comprehensive introduction to applying the Trauma Resiliency Model (TRM)® and the Community Resiliency Model (CRM)® when working with neurodiverse individuals.

Participants will learn to understand trauma through a neurodiversity-affirming lens, recognizing that neurodivergent individuals—whether they have Autism, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), or Autism and Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (AuDHD)—experience and respond to trauma in unique ways.

The course emphasizes the importance of affirming neurodivergent identities and challenging traditional, deficit-based models of care. Participants will gain the skills to create inclusive, empowering spaces that honor neurodivergent strengths while addressing their specific challenges.
