Description
You’ve worked with the child who has difficulty transitioning from one activity to another, becoming upset or overly silly. Waiting for his turn is difficult if not impossible, as is following daily routines. Despite repeated requests from his teacher to “use your words,” he typically is not able to communicate his wants and needs and becomes angry or shuts down. This child lacks self-regulation, and struggles both academically and socially.
Communication skills play an important role in the development of self-regulation. In this workshop, you will learn how to use language to improve self-regulation for children with:
Language delays/disorders
Emotional & Behavior Disorders
Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder
Attachment disorders
Autism
Social Risk
You will learn techniques in formats that you can apply to your work immediately, illustrated through case studies and intervention videos. Bring your challenges with you to the workshop, as Dr. Wing will also facilitate group problem-solving. Discover new and innovative ways to help children develop self-regulation through language!
