Reduce Frustration, Emotional Outbursts & Oppositional Behaviors
What if the problem isn't the child's behavior - it's what caused it?

“Everyone is a genius, but if you judge a fish on its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid.” - Albert Einstein
The kids we worry about - the ones who won't sit still, who melt down, who hit first and ask questions later - they're fish trying to climb trees. And our job is to figure out who belongs in the water and who belongs in the trees, then help them get there.
That's what this training is about.
I take a different approach than most self-regulation seminars. I'm not going to spend our time together teaching techniques for helping kids calm down in the moment. Those are valuable, and plenty of people teach them well.
Instead, I want to help you understand: What made them dysregulated in the first place?
Because here's what I've learned in 25+ years of working with kids who have ADHD, autism, sensory processing differences, and learning disabilities: if we solve the problem that created the dysregulation, people will be more regulated. It's that simple.
I know you're overwhelmed. Teachers have impossible class sizes. Clinicians have impossible caseloads. I'm not here to add more to your plate without giving you something back. Think of this as an investment: time spent understanding what causes problems means less time spent managing problems that keep repeating.
I'd love to have you join me.
Warmly,
Dr. Laura Ehlert, PsyD

The one who won't sit still. Doesn't follow directions. Throws tantrums. Has difficulty waiting for their turn. They may "hit first and ask questions later." They react impulsively and have difficulty expressing what they need or what is frustrating them.
We know this child is intelligent, caring and kind - but their behavior doesn't reflect these positive qualities. These are the children who confuse and frustrate parents and overwhelm teachers and peers. They struggle to meet basic expectations and are unable to succeed in school, with peers and at home.
