Emotional Regulation

Teaching emotion concepts is important, but regulation begins before we even develop words! This workshop explores both top-down (language strategies), and bottom-up strategies to CONNECT to my body, my experience, and my people in order to manage my big feelings.

Supporting Behavior, Participation, and Transitions

Does your child need multiple reminders to complete seemingly-simple tasks? Do they have challenges moving from one task to another, or feeling confident during new situations? Learn how to support your child through visuals, timers, schedules, social stories, and more!

Behavior Support Level 2

What supports positive behavior outcomes? This workshop will help educators better understand how to achieve increased compliance and attention to learning. Educators may share examples of behavior concerns and the context in which they occur.

Sensory Processing

We ALL have a sensory profile. As adults, most of us have developed an “owner’s manual” to cope with sensory likes and dislikes. Our children may not yet understand their sensations or emotions, be able to communicate their likes and dislikes, and have little control over their environments (adults set the schedule, menu, clothes, temperature). Helping our children be calm, attentive, and flexible requires bottom-up body strategies (e.g. sleep, nutrition, sensory input), as well as top-down brain strategies (communication, organization)... and good detective work! Come learn how to better understand your child, and strategies to set-up for sensory-success!

Building Motivation: Supporting Engagement and Motivation in Learning

An overview of the science of motivation to provide educators with an understanding of intrinsic vs extrinsic motivators. Learn concrete strategies for making schoolwork motivating, supporting your students to develop a growth mindset, and helping children learn to work towards goals.

Interoception Part 1

We grow up learning about our body's 5 senses, but did you know we actually have eight senses? This workshop will introduce you to interoception: our ability to notice body signals, connect to a feeling, and utilize a self-regulation strategy. Without interoception, true self-regulation cannot take place.

Interoception Part 2

We grow up learning about our body's 5 senses, but did you know we actually have eight senses? This workshop will review interoception: our ability to notice body signals, connect to a feeling, and utilize a self-regulation strategy.

Visual Motor Skills and Printing

This in service will explain the underlying skills required for children to learn printing and how pre printing skills develop. The presenter will review a range of printing programs for younger students and elementary aged students.
