| Description |
You’ve worked with the child who has difficulty
transitioning from one activity to another, becoming upset or overly silly. Waiting for his turn is difficult, if not impossible, as is following daily routines. Despite repeated
requests to use his words, he is not able to communicate his wants and needs and becomes angry or shuts down. This child lacks self-regulation and struggles both
academically and socially.
Join language expert Chris Wing, PhD, CCC-SLP, and learn communication-based strategies to improve self-regulation based upon the latest neuroscience and behavioral research. You will learn a language-based framework that builds awareness of self and others and provides an alternative to acting out or withdrawing. Attend and
walk away with:
• Checklist to evaluate child’s understanding and functional usage of words
• Library of words that explicitly label perceptions, thoughts, beliefs and emotions
• Strategies to help children label their sensory experiences
• Techniques to create emotional literacy and build relationships
• Hands-on activities to increase problem-solving skills
• Language strategies to decrease disassociation and hyper-vigilance
• Body-calming techniques: Moving from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest”
• Journaling exercises, mindfulness techniques and personal narratives
Discover new and innovative ways to help children develop self-regulation through language!
