Description
This presentation will teach strategies that dental professionals can use immediately to better support and treat autistic and neurodivergent individuals of all ages in the dental setting. You will hear from autistic individuals about their dental experiences and learn evidence-based strategies that can be used before, during and after the appointment to create successful dental visits for all. The presentation will review the free, on-line, self-paced program “Autism & Neurodiversity in Dentistry” developed by CIRCA at UBC and the learner will find where to access resources to support their on-going development.
