Autistic-Affirming ERP Training

If you are looking to better serve autistic clients with OCD, this course is for you. With our compassionate approach you will be able to distinguish autistic traits from OCD, adapt ERP to meet the needs of autistic clients, and help all clients reduce shame. While there is a strong focus on using affirming principles at the intersection of autism and OCD, we also bring neurodivergent-affirming principles to the discussion of OCD itself. We have been approved by NBCC and will provide 3.25 continuing education hours for completion of this course at no additional charge.

  • Yes! We have been approved to provide continuing education credit through NBCC. Upon completion of the course, 3.25 CE hours will be awarded.

  • No experience with either is needed in order to jump in to the training. If this is your introduction to ERP you will likely need more learning through further training, consultation, or reading before feeling confident implementing ERP.

    Clinicians who are already familiar with ERP and a neurodivergent-affirming lens will benefit from new learning and resources.

    For those that are wanting more ERP learning we recommend additional training such as those offered through the IOCDF's training institute.

  • Written summaries of each module are available for download.
