Description

Dysregulated kids leave parents, caregivers, and educators frustrated and at a loss for determining next steps.

Meltdowns during transitions. Bedtime refusals. Off-task behaviours. Out-of-proportion emotions.

Kids and their caregivers are coming to you for help. But with multiple underlying causes of dysregulation, it’s hard to know where to begin. And for kids with ASD, ADHD, and SPD, the one-size-fits-all approach simply doesn’t work.

Watch Maria Slavin, MS, OTR/L, specialist with over 20 years of experience in working with neurodivergent children, to learn to identify and effectively address the root causes of poor self-regulation and walk away with dozens of evidence-based strategies for creating simple but effective programs in clinical, school, and home settings:

  • Sensory techniques for over- and under-responders
  • Simple self-management and video modeling programs
  • Sensory lifestyle programs
  • Top communication support strategies for kids with ASD
  • 3 must-use transition strategies
  • Behavioural supports for kids with ADHD
  • Co-regulation strategies for all ages
