This workshop is designed for experienced Speech Pathologists who work with high-functioning neurodivergent clients aged 8-18. It is best suited to professionals who:

• Have clinical experience with primary and adolescent populations

• Are familiar with neurodivergent presentations, including ASD, ADHD, and Social (Pragmatic) Communication Disorder

• Have an interest in social-emotional learning, diagnostic reasoning, and assessment practices

This is an advanced-level training and is not intended as an introductory course.

This full-day, in-person workshop focuses exclusively on the assessment and diagnostic considerations of social cognition and social communication in neurodivergent youth. Key topics include:

• Developmental and neurological foundations of social cognition

• Diagnostic differentiation across conditions (e.g., ASD, ADHD, trauma-related presentations)

• Interpreting assessment data across tools, informants, and contexts

• Navigating diagnostic complexity in high-functioning adolescents

• Case-based discussions to apply clinical reasoning

• Evidence-informed insights drawn from literature, clinical experience, and consumer perspectives

Please note: Intervention and formulation are not covered in this workshop. The focus is on enhancing diagnostic clarity and assessment confidence.

No. This is a face-to-face workshop only, designed for in-person learning, discussion, and interaction. A follow-up Special Interest Group (SIG) will be available for those interested in exploring formulation and intervention in future sessions.
