Join us for a high-impact, practical workshop designed for school psychologists, LEPs, LCSWs, and related professionals who support students with Autism and Emotional Disabilities.

This session tackles one of the more nuanced and often misunderstood areas in school-based mental health: Conducting Autism and Emotional Disability assessments, comparing DSM diagnosis and educational criteria, as well as overlapping symptoms.

We will explore real-life case studies where it's difficult to determine if it's autism, anxiety, depression, PTSD, psychosis, ADHD, or a mix of several overlapping diagnoses… PLUS how to navigate situations when families, schools, and clinicians have different perspectives.

🧠 You’ll learn how to:

  • Compare DSM-5-TR diagnoses with educational eligibility criteria
  • Understand when symptoms may indicate Autism, Emotional Disability, or both
  • Use a neurodiversity-affirming lens to guide your evaluations and supports
  • Adapt counseling strategies for autistic students with co-occurring mental health needs
  • Support families and staff with practical resources and language


🧰 You’ll walk away with a powerful set of tools and resources, including:

  • A newly developed parent interview template for autism
  • Diagnostic cheat sheet for autism
  • A teacher and parent guide for working with students with Autism and mental health needs
  • Counseling strategies and evidence-based practices tailored to this unique population


✨ Whether you’re evaluating, consulting, or counseling, this workshop will help you navigate complex cases with more clarity and confidence, and give you ready-to-use tools to support students immediately.


Perfect for:

  • School Psychologists (NASP-Approved CPD Provider #1184)
  • Licensed Educational Psychologists (LEPs)
  • Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs)
  • School-based mental health professionals


Taught by Misty Bonta, LEP/ABSNP, and Frances Beckman, LCSW.


📢 Join us live or on your own schedule and earn your 3 CPDs/CEUs either way.
