Description

Watch Gwen Wild, MOT, OTR/L, renowned self-regulation expert in this intensive 2-day recording to learn clinically proven neurological approaches to address self-regulation in children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD), ADHD, ODD, OCD, anxiety, trauma, chronic stress, fetal drug exposure, and physical disabilities.

Knowing the underlying brain connections will help you better select and develop appropriate interventions for challenging behaviors, such as hyper-activity, aggression, frequent meltdowns, outbursts, extreme sensory sensitivities, self-stimulation, inattentiveness and more.

Watch this recording and become a leader in your field and elevate your work with children and adolescents with over 100 brain-based strategies to implement in your clinic or classroom immediately!

You will leave the course being able to:

  • Identify signs and symptoms of neurological differences such as neurotransmitter imbalance, hyperactivity in the insular cortex and amygdala, impaired sensory processing, and poor communication between different regions of the brain
  • Form newer and stronger neural connections in key brain areas to enhance social communication, learning, sensory processing, and response to trauma or stress
  • Immediately alter neurotransmitter levels to enhance focus, improve mood, and regulate emotions
  • Change brain waves to facilitate a calm and organized state
  • Facilitate development in certain brain structures responsible for processing sensory input, enhancing emotional awareness and regulation, and decreasing anxiety
  • Simplify home programs to empower parents and teachers to ensure carry-over into the home and school settings
  • Apply the science behind meditation, mindfulness, Ayres Sensory Integration™, therapeutic listening programs, and “brain breaks”

By using a bottom-up approach you can strategically select intervention strategies that strengthen the neurological foundation needed for higher skills to emerge in the children and adolescents you work with!

Outline

Neurological Development

  • Latest research on neurological differences associated with:
    • Motor skills, sensory processing, language development, self-regulation and learning
  • Hindrances to typical brain development
  • Structural brain differences and neurochemistry in common diagnoses and symptoms
  • A bottoms-up model for brain-based intervention
  • Video labs and hands-on brain models

Assessment of Neurological Functioning

  • SPD vs ADHD
  • Sensory vs behavior
  • Behavior disorders
  • Standardized assessment tools
  • Behavior analysis
  • Easily accessible checklists and questionnaires

Build a Strong Neurological Foundation

  • Sensory-motor activities to build strong neural connections between key brain regions
  • Strengthen the insular cortex to improve emotional awareness
  • Strategies to stimulate the vagal nerve to power up the parasympathetic nervous system
  • Integrate primitive reflexes to enhance posture, motor control, and emotional responses
  • Case Study: 16-year-old boy with HFA, SPD and EF challenges
  • Lab: 1) Acupoint tapping; 2) Vagal stimulation activity

Using Neuroplasticity to Repair/Rebuild Affected Brain Structures

  • Restore balance between the frontal cortex and the amygdala to decrease sensory sensitivities, anxiety and aggression
  • Auditory stimulation to facilitate a calm and focused state
  • Yoga and mindfulness strategies to reduce an overactive fight-or-flight response
  • Proprioceptive, vestibular and tactile input to regulate emotional responses, reduce self-stimming, self-injury and anxiety
  • Lab: 1) Joint compressions 2) Rhythmic movements

Neurochemistry’s Impact on Behavior, Emotions, Motor Skills and Learning

  • Primary role of major neurotransmitters
  • Signs and symptoms of neurotransmitter imbalance
  • Correlation between neurotransmitters, sensory processing and emotions
  • Evidence-based strategies for neurotransmitter deficits/excesses
  • Case Study: 12-year-old girl, trauma history, extreme tactile sensitivities, atypical social behaviors
  • Lab: Change your own neurochemistry now!

Targeting Higher Level Brain Centers

  • CBT to identify triggers and manage emotions
  • Behavior mapping to improve self-awareness
  • Social stories and video modeling to target mirror neurons and teach appropriate responses
  • Programs to improve social skills and manage physiological response to conflict and stress
  • Token economy to address self-regulation
  • Case Study: 6-year-old boy, off-task and fidgety behaviors
  • Lab: 1) binaural beats to impact brain waves 2) Mindfulness activity to balance neurotransmitters

The Role of Medication

  • Perspectives on medication
  • Commonly prescribed medications for childhood diagnoses
  • Supplements to consider
  • Case Study: 11-year-old boy, difficulty with attention, differentiating symptoms of ADHD vs. SPD

Brain Health

  • Nutrients for neurotransmitter production
  • Sleep hygiene
  • Nature
  • Physical Health
  • Use of electronics and video games
  • Case Study: 21-year-old with autism, severe sleep disorder, obesity

Clinical Considerations

  • Goal-writing
  • Data-tracking
  • Limitations of research and potential risks
