Description
For children to be able to pay attention, actively participate and learn, their nervous systems must be regulated! Therefore, it’s essential to know the underlying brain connections related to challenging behaviors, such as hyperactivity, hypo-activity, aggressiveness, self-stimulation and inattentiveness in children and adolescents diagnosed with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, and ADHD.
Watch renowned self-regulation expert and author Varleisha Lyons, PhD, OTR/L, for this advanced training and learn the connection between neuroscience and self-regulation to help you select and develop effective self-regulation interventions.
Under Dr. Lyons’ expert guidance, you will learn proven neurologically tailored sensory strategies, environmental strategies, sensory-based tools, respiratory- based techniques, and emotional regulation techniques, as well as mindfulness, social skill programs, and music and movement—to improve regulation.
By learning how to skillfully integrate these strategies you will be able to:
- Target the nine sensory systems, emotional regulation and executive functioning
- Tap into the central, autonomic, and enteric nervous systems to improve regulation
- Address primitive reflexes to improve social participation and age appropriate behaviors
- Initiate sensorial stimuli, calming and attentiveness to reduce challenging behaviors
- Improve working memory and reduce stress to open children up to learning
- Address picky eating and poor sleep habits
Whether you are an expert on the brain or new to this science, Dr. Lyons makes it easy to understand and easy to implement! Purchase today!

Objectives
- Analyze the neuroscientific research related to self-regulation and sensory processing in kids diagnosed with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, and ADHD.
- Differentiate between the characteristics of sensory processing disorder, ADHD and autism and articulate how the neurological processes of each disorder coincide with one another.
- Apply neurological approaches that tap into the central, autonomic, and enteric nervous systems to improve clinical intervention techniques.
- Determine the role of primitive reflexes and how they support or impede client functioning.
- Evaluate the relationship between the autonomic nervous system and behavior in clients.
- Determine the neurological responses aligned with intervention techniques to further enhance treatment planning.
- Develop appropriate clinical interventions for challenging behaviors in clients, such as hyper-activity, hypoactivity, aggressiveness, self-stimulation and inattentiveness.
- Implement music as a technique to initiate sensorial stimuli, calming and attentiveness in clients.
- Integrate a comprehensive mindfulness program to improve self-regulation in clients.
- Utilize role play activities to assess levels of arousal among clients.
- Develop a comprehensive treatment plan that addresses a variety of clinical concerns, including social skills deficits, picky eating and sleeping issues.
- Implement strategies to address reciprocal regulation between the child and caregiver in order to improve clinical outcomes.
