This session is part of two comprehensive series:
26th Annual Therapies in the School Conference PROGRAM B – ON-DEMAND 12
and
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.
- Differentiate between supporting regulation and stretching regulatory capacity.
- Relate affective development to effective supports for self-regulation.
AUDIENCE:
School-based therapists including OTs, PTs, SLPs and Special Educators.

AMY LEWIS OTR/L pediatric OT in Charleston, SC. Amy has a particular interest in psychology, sensory integration, auditory interventions, relational neuroscience, and light touch body work. She recently completed a 2-year mentorship in Tensegrity Medicine, an approach that treats the whole person from an integrated mind and body perspective, focused on the fascial system. Her OT career began in the birth to three population, affording the opportunity to hone her focus on foundational skills like postural control and regulation. Certifications include SIPT, Therapeutic Listening, Rhythmic Entrainment Intervention, iLs, and Safe and Sound Protocol. When transitioning to work with older children and adults, Amy maintained a focus on foundational skills and how they support regulatory capacity, while also bringing in her studies of mindfulness, and the practice of self-compassion.

Powerfully You is a culmination of 20 years working as an OT, combined with life experiences and learnings and a passion for being with others on their journey in a way that comes alongside and offers information and tools.
