Participants will learn best practice models for support and therapy with autistic adolescents, including adaptations for teaching and individual and group therapy programs. Specific therapeutic techniques are provided for treating depression and anxiety, eating disorders, and encouraging friendship and a positive self-identity. Classroom accommodations that support autistic students at high school are also provided.

While this Masterclass includes some content from our previous course, Masterclass: Support and Treatment for Autistic Children and Adolescents, we have updated the course and only discuss teenagers to allow more depth on this topic.

The course material is presented using a combination of didactic teaching, taped demonstrations from real-life clinical sessions, case studies, and question time. Each day is a stand-alone workshop, and participants may choose to choose either one or both workshops. Several handouts are included to assist professionals in their practice and supplement the teaching or therapy process.
