Description

This seminar will help you to better intervene with the challenging student— the one who won’t sit still; doesn’t follow directions; often throws tantrums; or 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. This child is intelligent, caring and kind, but their challenging behavior is overwhelming, confusing and frustrating. They struggle to meet basic expectations and are unable to succeed in school, with peers and at home.

Join child clinical psychologist Dr. Ehlert and learn to effectively intervene with the emotional and behavioral dysregulation of children with High-Functioning Autism, ADHD, learning disabilities and sensory processing disorders.

In 3 short live sessions totaling 6 hours and 15 minutes, Dr. Ehlert will teach you hands-on activities, exercises, and techniques you can use whether you are teaching in a classroom or virtually. Her go-to interventions will help you:

  • Address the sensory, language and executive functioning processing deficits that trigger students
  • Improve problem-solving skills and self-regulation skills
  • Increase student’s self-control, social success, emotional control and task completion
  • Teach flexibility, tolerance, thinking it through and decision-making
  • Reduce the frequency and duration of student’s tantrums and emotional outbursts

Walk away with proven emotional, behavioral and processing strategies that lead to social and academic success!

*Please note: This live program is 6 hours and 15 minutes in total. It will be presented across three dates to provide easily consumable, 2+ hour sessions. To receive full credit, attendance is mandatory on all three dates.
