Description:

Students explore intervention planning for neurodivergence with children, youth, and adults, including select assessments and evidence-based treatments. Key principles of effective planning are reviewed, including culturally sensitive and responsive practices. Students integrate the biopsychosocial-spiritual model with equity, diversity, inclusion, and decolonization values in supporting individual strengths and needs, achieving successful outcomes, and guiding decisions. Students understand relational practice as a foundation of successful outcomes, across emotional, cognitive, behavioural, communications, and mental health domains. This course is also offered as PSYC 4106.
