Differential Diagnosis: The Autism and ADHD Series Self-Paced Training for Psychologists and Allied Health Professionals As awareness of neurodivergent presentations grows, clinicians face increasing challenges in distinguishing Autism and ADHD from other overlapping conditions. Misdiagnosis and diagnostic overshadowing can lead to ineffective interventions, missed support needs, and more complex clinical trajectories. In this 3.5-hour, evidence-based training, you'll learn a clear, practical framework for approaching differential diagnosis with confidence and accuracy. Designed for psychologists and allied health professionals, this workshop provides strategies grounded in real-world clinical practice.
