Regulation has become a powerful buzzword guiding behavioural goals and interventions established by clinicians and educators across the world. But what does “regulation” truly mean? This in-person two-day workshop weaves together concepts from Polyvagal Theory, interoceptive processing and emotional integration. Combining theory with practical video demos, labs and problem-solving conversations will support the carry-over from theory into day-to-day application of strategies towards well-being and function. This workshop is relevant to all professionals supporting human beings (especially individuals living with neurodiversity and trauma) who are keen to understand their own regulation and co-regulation literally from the inside-out.

We know that having caring, connected conversations can significantly impact the mental health of children and youth. Join us to listen to Kim Barthel talk about having more self-compassion, self-awareness and knowledge about the art and science of relationships. Our kids mean so much to us, and yet disconnection, dissociation and even the potential for self-harm is very real. A holistic and engaging story-teller, Kim will introduce the basics of attunement, attachment theory, trauma-sensitive practice, sustainable self-care and above all the power of connection and inclusion.

Movement challenges are the functional limitations most often neglected in the treatment of children with ASD. Current motor control literature and neurobiological research highlight the motor systems impairments in the increasing prevalence of the ASD diagnosis. Neuro-Developmental Treatment (NDT) is a frame of reference that guides clinicians in the analysis and treatment of posture and movement. This cutting-edge workshop will apply NDT principals, assessment, and intervention in treating the movement challenges of children on the spectrum. Comparing and contrasting between ASD compensatory motor patterns and typical motor development will be emphasized, offering a foundation for the facilitation of new motor learning through lecture, videotape analysis and virtual lab. This on-demand online learning experience will be available for viewing for 365 days.
