Course Description:

Attend this high impact seminar and become immediately more effective in treating your clients. Learn effective interventions to increase self-regulation in any setting.

Join Laura Ehlert, Psy.D., as she teaches you a unique approach and insights that are based on her years of working with emotionally and behaviorally disordered youth, and in raising her own children who have self-regulation difficulties. These experiences have taught her (from the inside out) how important it is to recognize and support the many challenges faced by these children, their families, and schools. This seminar will help you provide support and interventions to this complex population that result in diminishing difficult behaviors and improving success.

Objectives:
  1. Connect self-regulation issues in ADHD, autism, LD and sensory processing.
  2. Discuss Ross Greene’s Collaborative Problem Solving Model to improve self-regulation skills.
  3. Summarize brain training exercise activities and how they may help improve self-regulation.
  4. Identify positive accommodation and modification plans for many processing issues.
  5. Describe nutritional suggestions for children with sensory processing disorders.
  6. Apply self-management strategies for children.
