Overview

Learning Objectives:

  • Measure the neurological connection to the various sensory strategies for treating children and adolescents diagnosed with various disorders such as complex trauma, Autism, ADHD and Sensory Processing Disorders.
  • Implement current treatment techniques such as mindfulness, activation of the Vagus nerve, music and movement, and respiratory-based techniques to improve the client level of functioning.

Session Description:  

Sought after occupational therapist, Dr. Varleisha Gibbs PhD, OTR/L shares evidence-based strategies for working with diagnoses such as Complex Trauma, Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorders .

This course expands on previous coursework on Self-Regulation and Mindfulness. 

Attending will help you further gain the essential knowledge of the underlying neuroanatomical connections to help you better select and develop appropriate interventions for children who display challenging behaviours related to self-regulation and ‘asynchronicity’. 

Dr. Gibbs revisits the neuroanatomy, and connects video case examples, to the various sensory strategies, current treatment techniques. 

We devote analysis of specific treatment techniques from The Self-Regulation and Mindfulness Program developed by Dr. Gibbs and recently developed ACTION from Trauma Approach.
