Understanding and Managing Anxiety in Your Neurodiverse Child
with Bretton Mulder, PsyD
Wednesday, April 12, 2023
6:00-8:00 PM
A diagnosis of ADHD, autism/Asperger’s syndrome, or a learning disability may indicate a
different set of strengths than someone considered ‘neurotypical’ and anxiety can create
barriers with fully utilizing one’s strengths. This workshop will focus on how you can
understand the autism spectrum and ADHD through a strength-based lens and how to
collaboratively create environments that maximize a child’s strengths and minimize challenges
with anxiety.
