Application Notes
- Membership applications require administrative vetting and approval prior to admittance. The process may take up to 72 hours, or longer if there are follow-up questions to your application.
- Please make certain you agree with Therapist Neurodiversity Collective’s requirements to join prior to submitting a membership application. Membership is not automatic, and occasionally applications are turned down due to the following two reasons: Therapist Neurodiversity Collective has a no-tolerance position for the use of ABA, including the use of positive supports/rewards for client “motivation”, and a no-tolerance policy for neurotypical social skills training.
- Please make certain you agree to adhere to our Terms of Use and hotlinking policies.
- Please review our positions prior to submitting an application to make certain your practices parallel our positions because if your application is denied for any of the above reasons you will be refunded the cost of the membership dues minus a 20% administrative fee.
