Clients to Thrive
Neurodiversity Support & Advocacy (NSA) is a robust course that gives students the skills to coach neurodivergent clients toward a deeper, compassionate understanding of their unique needs and strengths. With this clarity, you will help clients build self-advocacy, resilience, and personal agency, equipping them to design and live their version of a fulfilling life—fully customizing “A Life That Fits” them perfectly.
NSA is required training for our Certified Neurodiversity Coach, and the brand-new Professional Certified Neurodiversity Coach credentials. It’s an optional requirement for our two PCC-level ADHD credentials (Certified ADHD Productivity Coach and Certified ADHD Organizer Coach) and an elective course for all other credentials. You do not need to be a credential applicant to register for this course.
This is an intensive, graduate-level course; be sure to make time in your schedule to complete assignments, practice skills, and reflect on/integrate the learning.
