This topic is so relevant nowadays, with the rates of autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, behavior dysregulation, etc. Plus, every "neurotypical" child also has big sensory needs at this young age as that is one of the ways their little brains learn about the world. Being able to understand and better identify what a child may need can really give your team confidence and reduce some of the stress caused by challenging behaviors.
Rebecca Foster, OTD, OTR/L is the program director from Minot Infant Development Program. She will come and discuss with us ways to meet the increasing needs of young children. The rates of autism spectrum disorder, ADHA, behavior dysregulation, etc. are increasing. Often times we, as staff, are not properly trained in handling these situations and behaviors. To provide the quality care that we strive to provide, it is imperative that we keep current on training. I believe face to face training is an extremely effective way to learn, as we are able to ask personal questions and even do role playing. Being able to understand and better identify what a child may need can really give us the confidence and reduce some of the stress caused by challenging behaviors. Rebecca will be able to give us tools to use when working with these children. We have quite a few physical tools in the building already, but this training will show us how to effectively use the tools that we already have. (the pressure vest, sensory items, the inflatable boat, etc).
