TF-CBT for Autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD Children and Teens: A Clinician's Guide to Adapting Trauma-Focused CBT for Neurodivergent Presentations

This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.

Standard trauma protocols were not built for the brains that need them most.

Neurodivergent children experience trauma at significantly higher rates than their neurotypical peers. They are also the children most likely to leave treatment without adequate care, to be misdiagnosed, or to be discharged when standard approaches fail to engage them.

This guide gives clinicians the complete clinical framework to change that. Every component of TF-CBT's PRACTICE sequence is systematically adapted for autistic, ADHD, and AuDHD presentations. The modifications are grounded in current research, built on a neurodiversity-affirming foundation, and delivered through 20 reproducible clinical tools ready for immediate use.

Effective trauma treatment for neurodivergent children is not a theoretical aspiration. It is a clinical requirement. This guide makes it achievable.
