Why Attend?

If you work with children or teens who struggle with regulation, you already know how hard it is to untangle what’s actually driving their dysregulation. This training gives you a clear, practical clinical lens that cuts through the overwhelm and shows you exactly where the breakdown is happening -and what to do first.

Rather than managing behavior, moment‑to‑moment, you’ll learn how to decode the sensory, language, and executive functioning differences underneath the behavior so your interventions become more effective, more intentional, and far less exhausting.

Join Dr. Laura Ehlert live for a full day of learning where she’ll share the same integrated framework she’s taught to thousands of clinicians — a framework that organizes even the most complex cases and helps you intervene with confidence.

In this training, you’ll gain:

  • A clear method for determining whether dysregulation is sensory, language‑based, executive functioning‑based, or interactional
  • Practical strategies you can use immediately to reduce frustration, emotional outbursts, and oppositional behavior
  • Tools that simplify decision-making in the moment so you know exactly how to respond
  • Ways to use language and environmental structure to build self-regulation from the inside out
  • Approaches that reduce power struggles while increasing flexibility, connection, and cooperation

And, of course, it’s completely free to attend.
