This small-group supervision series facilitated by Clinical Psychologist Stacey Hosking is designed for psychologists seeking focused, practical support with autism assessment. The group provides a structured and supportive space to discuss real cases, strengthen clinical reasoning, and build confidence in assessment decision-making.
The group is intentionally capped at four participants to allow for meaningful case discussion and depth. Across the series, participants are expected to bring cases for discussion, with each session facilitated to support learning from both individual presentations and shared reflection.
