When children become dysregulated in emotion, thought, or behavior they're simply not able to meaningfully participate in tasks.

Now imagine a reserve of practical strategies to deal with difficult behaviors in children in your back pocket. Watch Kathryne Cammisa. MHE, OTR/L as she walks you step by-step- through strategies that will empower you & the children you work with for positive behavior change.

Program: PESI, Inc.

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

Dates: 4/1/2023 to 6/30/2023

Since the Covid-19 Pandemic began, children across the country and the world have experienced significant changes within their homes, schools, and communities. Interactions with family members, teachers, therapists have suddenly shifted, and become unfamiliar, resulting in less productive opportunities for learning and growth. Children with autism are especially vulnerable to negative impacts, as they work to process complex emotions and implement successful coping strategies in their new environment. Through the development of a trusting relationship, children with autism can begin to gain the co-regulation skills necessary to develop self-awareness, and ultimately empower independent problem-solving and self-monitoring skills. The initial development of trust and positive regard within a relationship is crucial when supporting emotional advocacy and communication skills. Join me in this exciting, innovative, and evidence-informed recording. Finish feeling invigorated, with a new plan of action for how to use standard models and strategies in new ways to facilitate meaningful and lasting trauma recovery.

Dates: 4/1/2023 to 6/30/2023

Rhythms in life are present in many forms, and for children and families, these rhythms are most present within their interactions and daily life. Yet, a child with ASD may have difficulty with rhythmicity due to underlying sensory processing and motor challenges, which impacts synchrony within relationships. Looking through a Developmental, Individual, Relationship-based® (DIR) lens, Stacy Rosello, MA, OTR/L, will teach you why rhythms are important to early intervention for autism.

• Match child and parent rhythms within their interactions and teach the caregiver how to respond sensitively and to adapt contingently by embedding rhythms into routines and rituals, the child adapts and becomes empowered, driving development. In time, these meaningful experiences create connectedness and cherished family bonds.
OBJECTIVES 1. Theorize the reasons why achieving rhythm in a relationship for a child with ASD may be difficult. 2. Use DIR strategies to support rhythmicity and "synchrony” in interactions to foster relationships in a child with ASD and caregiver. 3.

Dates: 4/1/2023 to 6/30/2023

Are your clients ready for their next step? Transition to adulthood, including attending college or starting employment, is a time of significant change for many individuals. For neurodivergent individuals, excitement and anticipation of this change is frequently coupled with a sense of nervousness about how to manage these next important steps. Many times, as individuals in "helping” professions, we work hard on ensuring that every accommodation and support is put into place for our children and clients. Where we fall short, is allowing for opportunities of exploration and autonomy within a structured setting. This way, clients learn their best practices, and how to advocate for them. It is critical that therapists, educators, and all stakeholders consider post-secondary transition needs and make a targeted plan to support a student's journey to independence. In this session, transition planning best practices are used to consider therapeutic outcomes and to support targeted goal setting. A variety of evidence-based methods for promoting dynamic learning, self-awareness, self-regulation, and self-advocacy strategies to build a student's personal autonomy are discussed. Attendees will be provided with strategies ready for immediate use.

27. (PESI) Self-Regulation Interventions for Children & Adolescents: Reduce Frustration, Emotional Outbursts, and Oppositional Behaviors

Program: PESI, Inc.

Audience: PESI Attendees that have already completed the course and are only registering to receive Act 48 credits

Dates: 4/1/2023 to 6/30/2023

This seminar will help you to better intervene with the challenging child-the one who won't sit still; doesn't follow directions; often throws tantrums; or has difficulty waiting for their turn. They may "hit first and ask questions later”. They react impulsively and have difficulty expressing what they need or what is frustrating them. We know this child is intelligent, caring and kind, but their behavior doesn't reflect these positive qualities. These are the children who confuse and frustrate parents and who overwhelm teachers and peers. They struggle to meet basic expectations and are unable to succeed in school, with peers and at home. Join clinical psychologist Dr. Ehlert and learn to effectively intervene with the emotional and behavioral dysregulation of children with High-Functioning Autism, ADHD, Learning Disabilities and Sensory Processing Disorders. Through hands-on activities and dynamic discussion, you will learn techniques, behavioral strategies, problem-solving strategies and brain training exercises to:


• Address the sensory, language and executive functioning processing deficits that trigger them


• Increase their self-control, social success, emotional control and task completion


• Teach flexibility, tolerance, thinking it through and decision-making


• Reduce the frequency and duration of their tantrums and emotional outbursts

28. (PESI) Smart but Scattered Adults - Manage ADHD by Targeting Executive Skills

Program: PESI, Inc.

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

Dates: 4/1/2023 to 6/30/2023

Strategies to improve the ability of adults with ADHD to: -Get organized -Manage time -Control emotions -Avoid procrastination -Stay focused -Control impulses -Shift gears/roll with the punches -Keep track of it all Many adults with ADHD fail to finish college, hold down a job, progress in their career, or maintain satisfactory relationships with friends and family. Failure and the recognition that they are working well below their potential erode self-confidence and eat away at self-esteem. Even highly motivated clients with ADHD struggle to follow through on the changes they need to make to improve their physical or emotional well-being. They know they need to change, they know what they need to do to change, they may even be able to take a step or two toward making those changes-and then they plateau or give up. What's getting in the way is not their unwillingness or resistance to change, but weak executive skills. Executive skills are underlying brain processes that help people manage their everyday lives, get things done, control their emotions, and help them manage obstacles that interfere with productivity and behavior change. Attend this seminar and learn cutting-edge neuroscience on executive functioning and practical strategies for your ADHD clients to help them overcome the obstacles presented by weak executive skills. At the end of the day you will be able to best help your clients assess their executive skill strengths and weaknesses and create an action plan that is realistic and leads to true and lasting change.

Transgender and nonbinary (TNB) individuals have unique lived experiences that influence what they need from therapists and what affirmative therapy looks like for them.

We start by describing cisnormativity and frameworks for understanding minority stress and structural stigma. We move to describe specific ways therapists may create practices that affirm TNB clients. We end by describing gender identity and exploration. Providing trans-affirming care is an essential competency for practicing clinicians. The content of this workshop will take the audience beyond the introduction to basic concepts of gender identity to specific approaches that create affirming clinical interactions. The content presented will empower clinicians to form stronger rapport with patients who identify as transgender and gender nonbinary through affirming practices.
