Additional Information

Do you find yourself spending most of your treatment time dealing with maladaptive behaviors in children? Have you considered why there is such a prevalence of behavioral challenges? What has changed over the last 30 years to cause this rise in maladaptive behavioral patterns? In this course clinicians will dig to the root cause of maladaptive behavioral patterns and learn effective treatment strategies to remediate or prevent these issues. Learn why differentiatingbetween sensory and behavioral reactions makes a difference. Clinicians who can identify the root cause of difficulty are able to treat these problems quicker and moreeffectively.

This workshop will use effective teaching methods togive learners strategies to incorporate into their practice setting. Learners will be able to explain how sensory processing difficulties can cause or exacerbate maladaptive behavioral patterns, determine if a behavior is intentional, and the reasoning for an overwhelming increase in behavioral issues. This course will provide strategies to create meaningful treatment plans for clients.

1. spanking was referred to as a "discipline of choice". it should not be ambiguous whether hitting a child as a form of discipline is right or wrong. 2. you left room for interpretation re: link of autism to vaccines. this has been well studied and reported on, especially recently. the podcast should be corrected to make very clear that vaccines do not cause autism and that the number of vaccines given in the us has been well studied and verified. 3. lastly, your reference to the book holes. i can appreciate your reference to heavy work as a possible solution for dysregulation, however that was a extremely poor example of a child labor camp. calling it "genius" without a lot of further explanation is extremely odd and worrisome.

the instructor spoke very slowly and in monotone, making it difficult to stay engaged. seemed like she was possibly reading the information. this led to a sub-par overall experience. the content was excellent. i appreciated the case study with the boy in the mall. course was focused on schoolteacher mostly.

she talked about a video but when listening as a podcast, it was impossible to know what the video showed. she could have just briefly described what the child was doing in the mall
