Motivational Interviewing for Neurodivergent Minds

Evidence-Based Techniques for ADHD, Autism, and Executive Function Support

About this book

Transform your therapeutic practice with the first comprehensive guide to motivational interviewing techniques specifically adapted for neurodivergent minds.

Traditional therapy approaches often fail ADHD and autistic clients, creating barriers instead of pathways to change. This groundbreaking resource bridges that gap by adapting proven motivational interviewing methods for neurodivergent brains, offering evidence-based strategies that work with different neurological wiring rather than against it.

Discover practical techniques that address real challenges:

Sensory-aware environments that reduce overwhelm and support cognitive function

Concrete communication strategies replacing abstract language that confuses literal thinkers
Visual scaling tools and charts making therapeutic concepts accessible to different learning styles

Executive function support systems for planning, organization, and follow-through challenges

Movement-integrated conversations that channel hyperactivity into therapeutic engagement

Special interest leveraging techniques transforming intense passions into powerful motivators

Rejection sensitive dysphoria management for ADHD emotional regulation difficulties

Stimming accommodation strategies recognizing self-regulation as neurological necessity

Self-advocacy skill development building long-term independence and authentic living

Perfect for mental health professionals, ADHD coaches, autism specialists, special education teams, and neurodivergent individuals seeking therapy approaches that honor their authentic neurological differences.

This comprehensive manual includes detailed case studies, step-by-step protocol adaptations, ready-to-use visual aids, and practical tools for immediate implementation. Learn to create psychological safety for rejection-sensitive clients, design neurodiversity-affirming treatment plans, and facilitate genuine change conversations that feel sustainable rather than exhausting.

Stop forcing square pegs into round holes. Discover how adapting motivational interviewing for neurodivergent strengths creates breakthrough moments in therapy rooms, classrooms, and coaching sessions nationwide.

Evidence-based. Neurodiversity-affirming. Immediately actionable.

Transform your understanding of therapeutic engagement with neurodivergent clients and watch authentic change flourish when approaches match neurological reality.
