Neurodiversity Training for Birthworkers
Online Course
Dusty Chipura and I have created on self-directed online neurodiversity training for birthworkers through Doula Canda.
This Neurodiversity and Birthwork course is designed to give you the knowledge you need, as a birthworker, to understand how ADHD, autism, and AuDHD can shape pregnancy, birth, and postpartum for your clients, and how to adjust your care accordingly. After you complete the course, you’ll have a foundational working framework for running accessible intakes, reading sensory and communication needs accurately, and supporting neurodivergent clients (and possibly yourself) with far more confidence.
We will also touch briefly on how birthwork tends to draw in many neurodivergent people as well and we’ll discuss ways to make your own doula practice easier if you yourself are neurodivergent.
You’ll be able to work through this course at your own pace.
$99.00 CAD (+applicable taxes)
This short, succinct course qualifies for 2 CEUs with Doula School.
