1 in 5 children struggle with some form of learning, attention, or regulation challenge. With increasing research in the area of the neurology of learning, interventions pinpointing exact brain needs are stronger than ever. The fast-paced workshop packed full of useful knowledge and countless ideas, is designed specifically, for the “front line” therapist who needs fresh insight and ideas starting TODAY! Participants will examine the similarities and differences between the neurology of ASD, ADHD and Dyslexia, and how those impact designing effective strategies for children and teens. Tips and tools for core academics, executive functions, and developing a sense of autonomy and agency will be discussed at length. An extensive resource list will be included in this course.
