Intersectionality of Neurodivergence and Mental Health

May 8, 2026 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM (PDT)

Description


Dr. Cork will review information about neurodivergent clients seeking mental health treatment. She will review rates of co-occurring mental health diagnoses for the autism, ADHD, and intellectual disability communities, along with how these diagnoses may present differently in this population. She will discuss strategies and tools to adapt therapy interventions for diverse learners, along with resources for continued study. Finally, Dr. Cork will discuss ableism in the mental health system, the impact this has on neurodivergent people, and how you can help make positive changes. 

Learning Outcomes: 

➢ Review research on recommended adaptations for therapy interventions for neurodivergent clients.
➢ Retain strategies and tools for treating neurodivergent clients, including resources for continued study.
➢ Recognize a meltdown or shutdown and be able to apply support strategies for neurodivergent clients.
➢ Examine and discuss the ethics of competency versus ableism in the mental health system.

Dr. Jennifer Cork is a doctor of social work (DSW) and licensed clinical social worker (LCSW), specializing in the treatment of neurodivergent individuals with co-occurring mental health diagnoses. Jennifer is a late-diagnosed autistic adult and has 20 years’ experience working with individuals with neurodevelopmental disabilities. She has worked in the education, disability, and mental health settings. She has also written a therapy book called, What's Your Anxiety Level? Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Neurodivergent Children and Teens with Co-Occurring Anxiety Disorders, which comes out in November of 2025. She has a certificate in disability studies from Eastern Washington University, is a certified autism specialist (CAS), and ADHD-certified clinical service provider (ADHD-CCSP). Increasing mental health awareness and access to mental healthcare for the neurodivergent community is one of her passions.
