This session is for Dental Office Staff to learn practical and useful strategies to support autistic and neurodivergent patients of all ages in the dental setting. In fact, many of the strategies presented will help ALL patients have more successful dental visits.

Kayla has partnered with CIRCA to develop the program “Autism and Neurodiversity in Dentistry.” She is a Dental Hygiene graduate from the University of Manitoba. Currently, she works in private practice, is a part-time instructor in the Faculty of Dentistry at UBC, is a provincial examiner with the CDHBC, and is the Hygienist for BC Children’s Hospital. At BCCH, she developed the successful Behavioural Dental Intervention Program to assist children with support needs to successfully receive basic dental treatment without using a general anesthetic. She has been recognized for her work and has received the Dental Hygiene Superhero Award from Johnson and Johnson and the Dental Hygiene Making a Difference Award from the BCDHA.

How often do we check in with our team, really connect with them to see how they are doing. Not just your regular “Hi, how are you?” But showing a true interest in their well-being.

We will discuss how we can create a team that supports one another and an environment where each person can feel valued and appreciated. Including, ourselves.

Join us, for this fun and interactive session.

This month’s study club will be an open discussion for participants to share information, ask questions, and network with one another. This will be our last session before the summer and we will return on September 29, 2023.
