Do you work with children and adolescents who struggle paying attention, are severely disorganized, have difficulty making transitions and are unable to make plans? They repeatedly act out and meltdown-seemingly unaware of the consequences of their behavior.

Teaching students how they think, learn and behave empowers them to play an active role in their own learning. When children with ADHD, anxiety, learning differences, oppositional tendencies and disinterest in school are taught how to be "Cognitive Scientists” coaching their own brains to plan, prioritize, attend and remember, they become more invested in school and motivated to learn. Taking the mystery out of executive functions by showing students how to learn more efficiently while calming their defensive brains leads to better concentration, improved attention, higher academic achievement and competent social-emotional skills. In this workshop, Lynne Kenney, Psy,D., pediatric psychologist, author and international educator, will teach you how to integrate the newest research in neuroscience, kinesiology and education for kids to learn more efficiently. You will discover over 30 developmentally progressive cognitive-exercises, worksheets and activities to enliven your classroom. Learn how to improve cognition, enhance learning and empower children to be better thinkers with motor movement, sequencing, attending, self-regulation and memory activities.

OBJECTIVES
1. Implement research-based activities educators, teachers and school psychologists can use to improve thinking, self-regulation and behavior.
2. Characterize the relationship between cognition and motor movement.
3. Practice bringing physical activity back to the classroom with neurocognitive activities.
4. Demonstrate how students calm their defensive brains leading to better concentration, improved attention and competent social-emotional skills.
5. Evaluate the integration of computer-based cognitive skills training and motor movement activities
6. Choose how to enhance collaboration and cooperation in your classroom by teaching children applied neuroscience research.

Dates: 11/18/2025

This training is for staff interacting with individuals with disabilities in hopes of preventing future sexual abuse.

In reality, they, too, are sexual beings who need information and skills for making healthy decisions about sexuality. As someone who works with people with developmental disabilities, you may be the most likely person they may approach with questions about sexuality. This training will help professionals become more comfortable talking about this sensitive topic by discussing what needs to be taught when. It will also review how to help people with developmental disabilities have safe and satisfying relationships. Headphones and a private space are recommended for these virtual sessions. Registered participants will receive a Zoom link emailed before the start of each session.
