The Institute for Arts in Therapy & Education

For many neurodiverse children, receiving a diagnosis can be a turning point, helping them and the adults around them better understand their experiences, strengths and challenges.

Diagnosis should be part of a much wider process of understanding development, identity and support needs.

Our CERTIFICATE IN NEURODIVERSITY- UNDERSTANDING NEURODIVERGENT DIAGNOSIS AND DEVELOPING PRACTICE from the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education explores:

• how diagnostic frameworks are used and interpreted
• the emotional and relational impact of diagnosis for families
• the role of practitioners in supporting understanding rather than defining identity
• how to translate diagnostic knowledge into thoughtful practice

Designed for therapists, educators and professionals working with children and young people, this online training supports practitioners to deepen both knowledge and reflective practice.

Art therapy helps individuals explore feelings and experiences in a safe and contained way. Because creativity engages sensory and emotional processes, it can:
• support emotional regulation
• encourage self-expression
• foster insight and reflection
• build communication skills
• enhance self-esteem and agency

For children and young people, creative approaches can open doors to understanding that traditional conversation sometimes cannot.

Our CERTIFICATE IN ART THERAPY SKILLS at the Institute for Arts in Therapy and Education equips practitioners with foundational therapeutic skills to use creative methods in supportive and developmentally sensitive ways.

This flexible online course is ideal for professionals seeking to enrich their practice with arts-based understanding and relational tools.

Next cohort starts 10th Oct 2026, find out more and apply: https://artspsychotherapy.org/courses/certificate-in-art-therapy-skills-for-work-with-children-and-young-people/
