This two-day workshop is designed to support a wide range of professionals (speech/language pathologists, occupational therapists, physical therapists, social workers and special educators) who work collaboratively towards the enhancement of a child’s learning, function and well-being. Attunement, co- regulation, communication, sensory processing and engagement will be discussed throughout. Explore the neurobiology of sensory processing intervention, developmental disability and attachment, and the art of providing therapy for children with a variety of neurological, behavioural, mental health and communication challenges. Through lecture, videotape analysis, treatment demonstration and practical sessions, clinicians and caregivers will leave the workshop energized to problem solve client intervention in a new way!

Describe the neurobiology of challenging behaviour
