Therapy for Adults with Level 1 Autism


As our knowledge of Level 1 Autism increases, people are increasingly diagnosed in adulthood. The needs of this group are rarely met, and most therapists rely on their existing skill set. Adaptive Therapy for Autistic Adults allows you, as a therapist, to continue working within your chosen modalities whilst learning about the therapeutic needs of this client group. From learning to identify whether your client might be autistic, to structuring sessions around their sensory and communication needs, to educating your clients to manage their emotions better and move forwards in life, ATAA® will enable you to help your clients lead happier and more fulfilled lives. 


Whilst anyone is welcome to take the course, to become an ATAA® Practitioner, you must already be a qualified counsellor, life coach, hypnotherapist, clinical psychologist or psychiatrist. To receive certification, you'll be required to work through the whole course at your own pace. If you're not sure whether your qualifications allow you to become an ATAA®, please get in touch!



Dr. Claire Jack

Dr. Claire Jack was diagnosed as autistic in her late forties. This course reflects Claire's research into autism, which has led to the publication of several books and being one of Psychology Today's expert panel, and her experience of working with autistic adults, primarily autistic women. Claire has trained therapists for over 15 years and ATAA® sensitively and clearly guides therapists towards working with autistic clients who have Level 1 Autism. Claire shares her personal experience throughout the course, in addition to detailing how the approach can be adapted to different client needs, through sharing client case studies.

Self-paced learning


Learn at your own pace with extensive written materials, client resources and hours worth of video materials. Qualified therapists can call themselves ATAA® therapists on completion of the course.

Extensive Resources


From intake forms, to emotional regulation tools, you'll receive all the resources you need to offer your clients the best experience possible.

Communication

Many autistic clients feel unheard by therapists or unable to express themselves well. Learn how to communicate so that you both understand each other fully.
