Description

Supporting Autistic Clients with Special Interests: A Practical Guide This guide introduces the Special Interest Communication Theory (SICT) Facilitative Framework, which helps therapists meet the unique needs of autistic clients through special interests and pop culture. By creating an autism-positive environment and engaging with these interests, therapists can build rapport and identify therapeutic goals. Jessica Woolhiser Stallings combines her evidence-based framework with a history and overview of therapies and arts therapies used with autism, from a perspective that respects autistic self-advocacy and the role of art therapy in supporting individual emotional health. This practical guide offers tools to address anxiety, social interaction, communication, identity, and more. By adopting an approach that values autistic special interests, therapists can provide more effective support for their clients.
