The hour ticks by and your teen client has said naught but 5 words. Far from hyperverbal clients, these teens are bored, scared, or just plain quiet. Sessions like this leave you feeling inadequate, confused, and frustrated. How the hell can you break through to quiet, bored teens? More importantly, how do you get them to break out?! Join Sabrina Longley, LCSW to explore how to feel empowered when facing quiet teen sessions. Learn actionable techniques and more importantly the reasons behind the silence in the first place.

If you’ve been wondering…
- How do I support my teens who are just finding out they’re autistic or AuDHD?
-What do I do to prepare these teens for adulthood? Is that even my role?
-When sessions are silent or full of “I dunno”, how can I support therapeutic movement?
-All my teenagers are bored - how do I change that?!
-How can I reduce the stigma and shame my teen clients feel about being different?

We’ve got answers! Spend Saturday, May 16th, with us virtually as we share insight about working with Autistic + ADHD Teens! We’ll be gathering from 1pm to 6pm EST to discuss everything above - and more.

Dr. Kade Sharp, LICSW, Sabrina Longley, LCSW, and Jamie Roberts, LMFT, are bringing their tips, tricks, and compassionate perspectives. Having grown up to be the adults we needed when we were young, we’re sharing our lived experience and clinical knowledge with you to strengthen your skills and widen your offerings for neurodivergent youth.
