Meltdowns Helping Infants, Children and Adolescents Overcome Behavior Problems, Aggression and Tantrums (7 hrs.)

Taught by Stanley Greenspan, M.D.

Regulatory Sensory Processing Disorders (16 hrs.)

Understanding the child’s sensory profile is essential for all interactions and learning. Using video tapes, this workshop examines the sensory modulation continuum of sensory regulation and response to stimuli and how it influences behavior, attention, impulse control, postural control, motor control, motor planning, and functional skills. It explores sensory, motor, and emotional patterns underlying challenges in relating and communicating.
