| Description |
Many children and adolescents struggle with intermittent or chronic behavioral issues, where parents and professionals rely on time, behavioral rewards, or pharmacological/medication interventions to resolve the issue. Multi-component interventions and strategies have proven to be effective in reducing behavioral problems and increasing positive behaviors. However, translating the evidence into practice is important in resolving these issues before they develop into a chronic and more complicated issue.
This interactive and highly engaging workshop will apply the research on typical and atypical developmental, to childhood and behavioral disorders. It will teach you to identify when certain behaviors are developmentally appropriate, when it becomes a diagnosable condition warranting effective behavioral strategies, and identify reasons for misbehavior to ensure maximum home and school success. Participants will learn specific strategies for a variety of disorders including ADHD, oppositional defiance, and anxiety. Case discussions, published research articles, and proven self-regulation strategies will address difficult behavior issues associated with a variety of developmental disorders. Practical and ready-to-use handouts and behavioral strategies will be provided for therapists, licensed providers and parents to use immediately upon completing the workshop.
