Description
Join us for a practical conversation about supporting neurodivergent clients who are thinking about living, studying, or working abroad. We’ll explore important considerations in the decision to move overseas such as obtaining visas, healthcare (and medication) access, housing that works with sensory and routine needs, and talk through the everyday challenges that tend to come up. We will address understanding and preparing for typically unexpected cross cultural communication differences and social norms, as well as examine the executive-function load of managing life in a new and foreign place. You’ll leave with ideas for helping clients stay connected to support from the U.S., find useful local resources, decide how much to disclose, self-advocacy pitfalls to avoid, and other daily realities that can help make an international move more successful and sustainable. In addition, we will discuss the level of planning and support that may need to be considered. We’ll also look at how academic and workplace settings are unique overseas, so you can better guide clients toward moves that feel realistic and well-supported.
