Curious Cryptid Learning

You've Got Mothmail!

Dear Reader,

I'll keep it short and sweet today! There are going to be a few chances to spend time learning with me (live) this month and in May. I'd love to see and chat with you!

I'll be presenting virtually about:

๐Ÿ’š Supporting Asexuality-Spectrum Kinky Autistic Clients on 3/20 from 12-1pm PST (a Bite Sized CE that comes with a workbook & resources)

๐Ÿ–ค Ethics in Roles & Boundaries (Washington state folks know about this new training requirement!) with a Play Therapy focus on 3/20 from 2-4pm PST
(This will eventually be available on my platform for self-paced learning.)

๐Ÿ’š Autistic + ADHD Teens and how to support them in increasing self-esteem (and reducing some of that internalized ableism) at the GEMS Neurodiversity Summit on 5/16 starting at 10am PST
(Early Bird tickets are now on sale! VIP tickets include CEs and an extra Ask Us Anything panel so we can discuss things even deeper.)

๐Ÿ–ค Autism & Age Play: Embracing Sensory Joy at THRIVE on 5/30 from 11:30am-1pm PST
(This one's free to attend, though they encourage donations, and it isn't geared toward therapists so feel free to invite clients that may find it useful!)

Happy learning,

Dr. Kade Sharp

p.s. If you want some reminders about these events, please follow me over on Instagram- I'm trying to get better about posting tips, thoughts, and promotional material! @cryptidlearnsโ€‹

Neurodiversity in Clinical Psychology and Counseling with Dr Kade Sharp and Dr Amy Pearson and Dr Nick Walker

Curious Cryptid Learning You've Got Mothmail! Dear Reader, Whether you've been here a while or you're here because you just learned How To Be a Neurodiversity Affirming Play Therapist, I'm excited to send a quick update on offerings to you today! The fires here in Washington have kicked up some new health challenges for me, so I'm trying to lay low and stay indoors until things clear up. Some areas- like Spokane- have been absolutely devastated (over 800 homes and buildings lost) and I...

DIVERGE: Wired to Disrupt summit with Dr. Kade Sharp & Sabrina Longley discussing neurodivergent collaborations.

Curious Cryptid Learning You've Got Mothmail! Dear Reader, Welcome to more new readers from the How to be a Neurodiversity Affirming Play Therapist training!

(And, if we're being honest, many of us ADHDers...
