Program: PESI, Inc.

Audience: PESI attendees that have COMPLETED the course and want Act 48 credits awarded.

Dates: 12/30/2024 to 12/31/2024

Like you, I've dealt with some major obstacles to providing effective trauma treatment during my career. How do I make the best use of the growing body of neuroscience research? How can I cut through the clutter of all the possible factors contributing to the trauma and get a clear picture of the issues to address in therapy? How can I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each survivor? I looked for a solution and discovered it in an integration of neuroscience, physiology, the three stages of trauma recovery, smaller ingredients taken from larger evidence-based models, and customizable treatment strategies that addressed the unique needs of trauma survivors and their families. This certification course recording presents this integrated and customizable approach to trauma treatment in a manner that is easy to follow and readily adaptable to a variety of settings. You will discover how to use this integrated model as a foundation upon which you can then tailor and apply treatment approaches with which you are already familiar but until now seemed rigid and inflexible. You will be able to move beyond the standard script often given for when and how to apply various strategies, allowing you to focus much more intently on where the trouble spots are in each survivor's life and what actions to take to resolve them. You will get a road map that will help you to guide each survivor through all the stages in the trauma recovery process.

Program: PESI, Inc.

Audience: PESI activity attendees that have completed the course and are requesting Act 48 hours.

Because individuals on the autism spectrum have Theory of Mind (ToM) deficits, they struggle with pragmatic interaction skills, organized and coherent conversations, engaging in appropriate turn-taking, and inferring what others might do, think and feel. To address their social/communication deficits clinicians must discern their ToM abilities.
Join internationally renowned expert Carol Westby, PhD, CCC-SLP, as she guides you through:
• Current research on neural bases for emotional understanding and theory of mind
• Developmental stages of theory of mind from infancy through adolescence
• Assessment and intervention implications for ToM deficits and how to intervene with infants through school-age children.
Given the role of Theory of Mind (ToM) in social and academic functioning in persons with autism and the rapid increase in our understanding of the neurological and environmental factors that contribute to ToM, it is important that we recognize delays and deficits in ToM.
