In this workshop, Dr. Hong will highlight how not including neurodiversity-related factors into the clinical formulation can lead to poor progress and, at times, harmful outcomes. Using clinical examples, she will walk through the ways neurodiversity-related differences can completely shift cognitive behavioural formulations of maladaptive or unwanted behaviours.  She will then offer concrete ways to incorporate neurodiversity-related differences into the formulation while also ensuring an evidence-based approach to care. Throughout the presentation, Dr. Hong will use real-world clinical examples to inform concepts presented. The workshop aims to help clinicians feel empowered with ways to reframe difficulties that come with holding an (often invisible) minoritized identity and use existing evidence-based treatment strategies more effectively with neurodivergent individuals.

Bespoke Mental Health Canada is approved by the Canadian Psychological Association to offer continuing education for psychologists. Bespoke Mental Health Canada maintains responsibility for the program.
