Neurodiversity and youth offending
About
This brief workshop will provide participants with an understanding of factors associated with offending behaviours in neurodiverse young people. The association between clinical features, behaviours and risk will be discussed, and case studies used to illustrate conceptually helpful ways of including neurodiversity into formulation, with specific reference to autism and ADHD. The workshop will consider recommendations for both assessment and practice when working with this population.
