Course Description:

Children who have trouble self regulating throughout the day are missing out on typical childhood experiences in school, on the playground and with their families. This workshop looks at the underlying factors of poor self-regulation and how they affect the child.

Experienced presenter, Teresa Garland, will teach you practical interventions and how to create simple, but effective programs in clinical, school and home settings:
  • Sensory therapy techniques
  • Simple self-management and video modeling programs
  • Sensory lifestyle
  • Social stories
  • Energy regulation techniques
  • Emotional regulation techniques
  • Communication methods
  • Transition strategies
  • Behavioral Strategies

Clinical programs such as Interactive Metronome®, Sound Therapy, and Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT™) will be discussed, as will timely topics such as medication vs. non-medication for ADHD and new insights from research into biomedical aspects of autism. You will receive written handouts and a list of resources.

Objectives:
  1. Summarize characteristics of sensory modulation disorder, ADHD and autism and how they overlap.
  2. Utilize specific treatments for SPD that can be duplicated at school or home.
  3. Describe the ingredients of a sensory lifestyle.
  4. Provide examples of elements of successful social stories and transitional activities.
  5. Describe ADHD interventions to be used with or without meds.
  6. Implement a simple self-management and video modeling program.
