- Synopsis
- A Clinician’s Guide to Neurodivergence: Supporting a neuro-affirmative form of practice is a concise handbook which provides a comprehensive and accessible overview of a range of conditions to support clinicians working with individuals with diverse neurocognitive profiles. It provides a practical guide for clinicians to move towards a more neuro-aware and neuro-affirmative way of working. It sets out guidance around diagnosis and access to services whilst giving consideration to the adaptations and accommodations that might be necessary to avoid the inequities that can often be experienced through neuro-normative or heteronormative practices.Topics covered include learning difficulties such as Dyslexia and Dyscalculia, Autism, ADHD, acquired brain injury and various other neurodivergent profiles. The intersection of neurodivergence with factors such as gender and age and comorbidity with mental health and personality profiles are also considered. Drawing on the NICE guidelines, the International Classification of Disease (ICD) system, and the Diagnostical Statistical Manual (DSM), each chapter provides the background to different neuro-cognitive profiles, common indicators that may be observed, screening and diagnostic assessment, clinical recommendations and signposting to relevant resources and services.It is valuable reading for students, researchers, clinicians, therapists, medical and allied professionals who require an introductory text providing in-depth details regarding a range of neurodivergent conditions.
