  • The neurobiogical difference between co-regulation and self-regulation

  • How to create buy-in for a regulation focused model in a sea of compliance/behaviorism
  • How compliance-based approaches present an ethical dilemma for therapists and what we can do about it
  • Many practical strategies for promoting regulation and sensory safety. These strategies can be used in a variety of settings.

 

Course Description:

Co-Regulation is one of the most overlooked, yet powerful strategies we can offer our clients (and ourselves!). In this course, you will learn about the neurobiological difference between co-regulation and self-regulation and how to use this science to nurture engagement and participation. Many practical, evidence-based strategies for promoting regulation, mutual relationship and sensory safety will be shared. Register today if you are ready to grow your approach. We look forward to seeing you in the course!

 

Who this course is for:

  • You are serving clients of any age with regulation differences
  • You are an Occupational Therapy Practitioner, Educator, Mental Health Provider, Speech and Language Pathologist, Behaviorist, or Caregiver who wants to help clients be better understood and supported.
  • You are seeking a ‘better way’ to support students that may be struggling with regulation, engagement and participation
  • You want to remain on the cutting edge of practice and follow what the research states as the best evidence-based approach for supporting your clients.

Greg’s message is one that we all need to hear, so Kelly is thrilled that he said ‘yes’ to this collaboration!
