This asynchronous online course uses an interdisciplinary approach to familiarize participants with complex challenges and hidden strengths associated with ADHD and Autism in adults in higher education, continuing education, and the workplace for the purpose of improving diversity and inclusion. Participants will learn to design counseling strategies to promote self-advocacy in multiple contexts for adults with ADHD and Autism, and to design reasonable accommodation strategies for a variety of environments within the framework of the ADA Amendments Act of 2008. Participants in Disability Studies, Education, Business Studies, Public Health, Rehabilitation Counseling, or Social Work may potentially obtain credit for this course in their respective degree disciplines. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) officers are welcome.
