What Participants Are Saying

“I have wanted to do these evaluations for a long time, but haven't known where to go to get training. I also had so many questions. Lindley was able to answer all of the questions and calm all of my worries, while providing me with the resources to drastically change how I do my work. I will forever be grateful to this program and Lindley.”

“This is such an amazing training! Lindley is very knowledgeable and such a lovely person to learn from! You can clearly see the time and care that was put into creating this training, and all of the incredibly thorough resources/materials. Highly recommend!”

“Completing the Cherry AADI training has been one of the most impactful professional development experiences of my clinical career. The quality of information presented was exceptional — comprehensive, current, and immediately applicable to real-world practice. My understanding of ADHD, Autism, and AuDHD has been significantly deepened, and I left this training not just more knowledgeable, but more confident and equipped than ever before. What sets the Cherry AADI apart is that it fills a critical gap in our mental health landscape. As a Master Level Clinician, I am fully within my scope of practice to assess and diagnose these conditions, yet until now, many of us have lacked a well-structured, accessible tool to do so with the rigor and confidence our clients deserve. The AADI changes that. It empowers clinicians like me to meet the overwhelming need in communities where adults have spent decades asking themselves, "What's wrong with me?" — without ever receiving an answer. That question breaks my heart and fuels my purpose. So many adults have spent most of their lives masking, struggling, and being misunderstood, desperately seeking clarity about how their minds work. After this training, I feel fully capable, and deeply called, to offer that clarity.”
“This training met and exceeded my expectations! Lindley is extremely well-informed, the developer of this assessment, and well-spoken. She did a great job answering questions clearly and completely, even including other relative information where appropriate. Lindley is also super supportive, as I completely messed up my scheduling for the first cohort I joined and missed the entire second day of class. She completely understood and kindly allowed me to join the next cohort of my choosing to complete my training. I would 100% recommend this training and presenter!”

“Lindley Cherry is clearly competent and passionate about providing this work and healthcare in a thoughtful, accessible way on both the client and the clinician side.”

“Lindley is incredibly passionate and knowledgeable. Taking this training was truly a treat and I am walking away with everything I could possibly need to feel confident administering this AuDHD assessment!”
“This class addresses a previously unmet need for learning in the counseling profession. The information is research based. Lindley gave excellent, concrete examples of therapist-client interactions that utilize the information from this class. I highly recommend this exceptional opportunity to any counseling professional interested in learning more about how to assess neurodivergent clients.”

“Participating in this training was a transformative experience both personally and professionally. The depth of knowledge, guidance, and the supportive environment helped me strengthen my confidence, expand my skills, and step more fully into my purpose. I walked away feeling empowered, equipped, and inspired to create meaningful impact in the work I do. I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend this training to anyone seeking authentic growth and professional development.”

“Lindley Cherry is ahead of her time, and she has opened a door for counselors to be able to increase their ability to support their clients.”

“I have been searching for years to find out whether LMSWs could conduct ADHD & ASD assessments, and to finally find a clear answer in Lindley's training was a deep relief. In addition, the fact that this training is so neuro-affirming, empowering, and strengths-based makes me feel even more comfortable to provide these assessments beyond just having the clinical knowledge of what to do. Lindley's approach to teaching this knowledge clearly demonstrates her passion and expertise in this area, and I'm deeply grateful that she is leading the charge to provide clear, affirming, and accessible assessment for neurospicy adults!”

“I am leaving the training feeling more prepared, organized, and confident about offering ADHD and Autism assessments for adults. Lindley was an engaging instructor and is very knowledgeable about what is required to offer a truly comprehensive assessment. She was very generous in sharing materials that go beyond the assessment tool itself, making the documentation process very streamlined. Lindley has an eye on inclusivity in mental health care that is reflected in the measure she has built and materials she shared. I would highly recommend this training.”

“Lindley is incredibly knowledgeable about assessing for ADHD & Autism. I really enjoyed her style of teaching and learned a ton in the training. It held my attention and made me much more confident providing assessments in my own practice.”

“Lindley Cherry is a phenomenal presenter and trainer and highly knowledgeable. I dislike virtual trainings usually, but I would take this again and again.”

“I am excited to be able to provide this diagnostic service in-house to my clients!”

“This is one of the best trainings I have attended on expanding my understanding of neurodivergent, and providing me the knowledge and confidence to provide assessments for ADHD and autism. This training is an absolute must for anyone interested in Neurodivergence and expanding their services to provide assessments!”

"This was THE training I was looking for and needed! Not only did Lindley explain everything in such a digestible way, but also made the entire evaluation process as efficient as possible. This training taught me so much more than any previous CE, job, or college course have."

“I cannot say enough about this training. Lindley Cherry provides a comprehensive, insightful, and thorough training on understanding the nuances of adult neurodivergence, its presentations, and methods of narrowing down the interview to understand the actual experience of the neurodivergent adult (underneath the masking, etc). The tool she has created is beyond reproach: beyond data-collecting, she ensures that differential diagnostics and potential co-existing conditions are addressed while also uncovering possible neurodivergence through neuro-aware questioning. As a seasoned practitioner with decades of practice under my belt, this is by far the most comprehensive training and tool I have had the pleasure to experience. As a neurodivergent person myself, it is also the most neurodivergence-affirming experience (and presenter!) I've encountered. Kudos to Lindley Cherry and the informed, much-needed service she provides. Thank you!”

“I really enjoyed the laid-back style of the presentation, which kept my ADHD brain engaged and excited to learn.”

“Lindley's devoted expertise and plethora of relevant examples to paint a clear picture of approaching ADHD and Autism Assessment for Adults not only enlightened me on neurodivergent issues and practical approaches but reaffirmed my own confidence as a clinical professional."

“This is a fabulous training and assessment!”

“The Cherry AADI is incredible! You can tell that Lindley has poured her heart into this. My team left this training feeling confident in being able to assess and diagnose neurodivergence in adults and in how to effectively write the assessment up to share with other providers. This was an amazing training and should be a required course in graduate school.”

“Shout out to Therapist Learning Center for providing a once-in-a-lifetime experience - complete with learning more about neurodivergence and assessing."

"I learned much more than I expected and already have some clients I know will benefit."

“This training was clear, direct, and full of detail and resources for ongoing support using the tool. Lindley was also engaging throughout the training and was able to answer questions and provide a safe and enjoyable atmosphere to learn in. A wonderful training I would highly recommend!”

“I highly recommend this engaging and informative training! I feel more competent not only in my ability to use the Cherry AADI, but in my ability to work with my neurodivergent clients in general.”

“I recently completed the Autism and ADHD Assessment course with Lindley Cherry and was genuinely impressed. The content was clear, evidence-based, and incredibly practical. It gave me the confidence and tools I needed to better understand and support neurodivergent individuals. Highly recommended for anyone working in education, healthcare, or support roles!”

"The trainings were valuable to my practice and left me feeling empowered and reinvigorated in my career."

"Lindley offered valuable learning that has enriched my practice and provided real value to my clients."

“This training was not only full of up-to-date and well-researched information, but Lindley made it fun and engaging to attend! I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in being able to offer this much-needed service."
