Optimizing DBT for Autistic Clients
In this workshop, the presenters (both DBT-LBC certified clinicians, one of whom is autistic) will discuss when and how to modify DBT by honoring the needs of the autistic brain without changing the treatment or targeting autism as a problem to be solved. Implications for treatment will be discussed, with a focus on incorporating the client’s neurotype into case conceptualization. Potential modifications for both individual therapy and skills delivery will be proposed.
