In this brief discussion, the speakers share practical steps for selecting training programs or resources that best fit an individual's needs. They recommend starting with a structured pros‑and‑cons list, researching reviews, and confirming whether the offering is research‑based and holds relevant certifications. They also stress the importance of consulting members of one's own community—especially within the neurodivergent community—as a rich source of trusted recommendations, noting that many valuable resources are not the well‑known, big‑name options.

yourself a pro— you know, if you're looking at different things, write a pros and cons list. Like, truly look at it. Look up some reviews. Look up, you know, look up what kind of research they're doing. Is it research-based or is it just all talky-talky? What are certifications?
Reach out to others in your community who have maybe seen them speak at a conference, seen them do a training before, have been to one of their trainings. Like, ask your community, because I will tell you this, our own community, especially in the neurodivergent community, is a wealth of amazing resources, and very, very, very, very few of them are actually the big-name resources.
