26th Annual Therapies in the School Conference – ON-DEMAND 12
COURSE DESCRIPTION:
Explore strategies to facilitate the expansion of regulatory capacity. We will discuss how anyone can provide support from a bottom-up or top-down perspective and will explore when it is appropriate to provide various supports. Strategies will include stretching regulatory capacity to build more robust self-regulation skills. The neuroscience that underlies our sensory, affective, and motor functions will be highlighted and related to concrete ideas of how to apply this knowledge to practice.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Determine appropriate strategies for expanding regulatory capacity depending on student’s current function.
