- Autism A to Z - This presentation will give participants an overview of the most up to date information on autism spectrum disorders, including possible causes, rates, and recent research. The presenter will provide an overview of possible supports to put in place for autistic individuals in a simple A-Z format. These strategies offer clear and effective ways to improve your relationships with and teaching and supporting of individuals with autism.
- January 18 and 19
- How to Manage When Emotions Get Big - Do you know students who get stuck in emotional responses, sometimes leading to meltdowns or dysregulation? Are you feeling stuck with what strategies to use to help them support them in calming down? Emotional regulation is one’s ability to recognize and process emotions as well as one’s ability to manage or balance emotional responses. In this training, participants will receive an overview of the neurological and physiological responses that can be activated when students (and adults!) are experiencing a stress response. We will explore practices and strategies to use to help us all regulate our stress responses and return to a calmer state of being.
- February 2 and 3
- Understanding, Supporting and Teaching Executive Functioning Skills for your Students - The purpose of this training is to help participants identify specific areas of executive functioning deficits in their students and develop the ability to effectively support and teach students who struggle with executive functioning skills. This includes identifying students who struggle with organization, planning, initiation, staying on task, impulse control, emotional regulation and adaptability and resiliency. The educational impact of each of these areas will be explored and discussed. Participants will learn strategies and supports that can be used to address executive functioning challenges as it relates to classroom participation and performance
