“…Research indicates that new workers at such agencies often begin their jobs with no formal preparation for working with people with developmental disabilities in general or neurodivergence specifically (Reid, 2019). Direct service providers consistently report feeling underprepared and unsupported in their work with clients who are neurodivergent (Gregori et al, 2020). Lack of training on neurodivergence leads to staff stress and burnout, and caregivers and families report experiencing economic hardship and mental health problems due to professionals' lack of knowledge and training (Dillenburger et al, 2016).…”

Persistent stigma surrounding neurodivergent people still exists. This article advocates for changes to societal systems to improve the well‐being of neurodivergent individuals and families, beginning with widespread awareness and support. Our suggested approach to improve societal infrastructure includes large‐scale online educational training of multidisciplinary professionals who operate within these systems to increase understanding, awareness, support, and accommodations for neurodivergent people. Multidisciplinary professionals who have received neurodiversity training can advocate for their respective systems to improve services for neurodivergent clients. We describe the 2023 development of Florida State University's (FSU) new online Professional Certification in the Fundamentals of Neurodiversity. The asynchronous psychoeducational training provides continuing education credit to a wide range of professionals. The framework for this training and curriculum content are described. Such training, along with a set of accompanying open‐access resources, can be replicated by institutions in many languages and cultures to improve professionals' knowledge and skills across the globe.

“…Thus, there are some ethical advantages to using predetermined baseline lengths rather than response-guided intervention initiation, in terms of predictable and shorter latency to treatment access and predictable baseline lengths that may increase acceptability to consumers (cf. Brodhead et al, 2019; Gregori et al, 2021).…”

A number of resources are available for evaluating the rigor of single-case designs, including the commonly used multiple baseline design. In this article, we discuss two characteristics commonly cited as necessary for the highest rigor in multiple baseline designs—concurrence and response-guided baseline condition duration. We suggest that both nonconcurrence and response-independent baseline condition duration may be appropriate in some situations. Suggestions for researchers include improved reporting and graphing. Future research is needed to determine experimental differences when these design variations are used.
