The research is clear. People who are neurodiverse spend more time online than pursuing any other leisure activity. Combined with a high unemployment rate and a services cliff when adolescents leave school this unfettered access to the internet can lead people down a rabbit hole that crosses social and legal boundaries. This presentation will identify two areas of current concern- accessing illegal images and radicalization and what we, as behavior analysts, can do to support families in cultivating different interests and developing healthy technology habits through education, collaboration and applied behavior analytic strategies.
Participants will be able to:
- Relate the social and legal implications of concerning online behavior with characteristics of neurodiversity which increase vulnerability.
- Synthesize information from the National Institute of Justice on reducing contact with the criminal justice system with behavior analytic practices
- Compile a list of strategies to implement in their clinical practice.
About the Presenter
I loved this course and found it extremely helpful and engaging. I never write reviews but this course was WORTH IT.
This was a very valuable course for anyone working with children, young adult and even older adults who are developmentally younger than their chronological age and/or are neurodivergent. The instructor has a vast amount of experience to impart, and what she offers will, no doubt, spare many people involvement with the law.
This course is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT to clinicians working with individuals who access the internet
This is one of the most important topics that any therapist working with teens or young adults needs to understand. I can’t recommend this course highly enough.
An excellent presentation and much needed topic for both neurodiverse and neurotypical adolescents and young adults. Lot's of practical information and approaches. The most engaging and useful presentation I attended this renewal cycle!
The overall content of the video was great. Please be mindful of political bias. Radicalization can occur online for both sides of the political aisles.
This was very fascinating and informative - information all practitioners should have. I will be sharing the link to purchase the content with colleagues for sure!
Excellent overview of truly important information - loved the resources!!
Very informative CEU from the perspective of legal implications of inappropriate internet usage. Very helpful even for supporting adult service users, would highly recommend!
