Therapists, this course is for you!

Training 101 will teach you to recognize, understand, and effectively treat one or both partners in a neurodiverse relationship.

Like many neurodiverse couples, Liz and Lisa figured out that they are neurodiverse decades into their relationship, from a podcast, a book, or a movie about a character with Asperger's or high functioning autism. But recognizing neurodiversity is just the beginning ... then what? How does neurodiversity impact an intimate relationship? What is the effect on the couple together and on each partner separately?

The couples you will meet love each other and are in search of therapists who are trained to understand and treat their unique needs.

"The content in this training is the most valuable I have gotten from a training course. I learned a tremendous amount, and it has already influenced my own clinical work. Training 101 is an amazing advancement in the field of neurodiverse couples therapy!"

– Peggy Kriss, PhD, clinical psychologist

Training 101 will not only inform you, but will transform the way you work with one or both partners in neurodiverse relationships

This 10 hour self-paced course is a comprehensive training featuring expert lectures, intimate interviews with neurodiverse couples, insights from a panel of therapists who work with neurodiverse couples together or separately, skill-building tools, tips, downloadable resources, a case study with online discussion, review questions, and so much more.

Intimate interviews with neurodiverse couples are enlightening

Learning directly from neurodiverse couples is critical to understanding what it's like to live 24/7 in a neurodiverse relationship.

Pete—a physician, and Ann, a nurse, who work together—were married for many years before they discovered that they were a neurodiverse couple. Once they recognized that Pete had an Asperger's profile, they began to shift their lens and reframe their relationship dynamics and each other. Adjusting and accommodating for neurological differences is now a vital part of their interactions, both at home and at work. Discover the interesting way in which this couple figured out that they were neurodiverse.

"This is novel and important material not covered by any other course. The videos of couples were especially instructive."

— Eric Endlich, PhD
