Self-regulation is an essential ability to navigating daily life, shifting, adjusting, and flowing. In the context of school-based intervention, we often address those students who are "over the top". But what about the other 95%? A therapist may often pick up subtle dysregulation cues that can escalate into behaviors that don't aid classroom access. This seminar is about foundational abilities, based on development and sometimes diagnosis, that may upset the flow of the classroom. Let's look at the unique consultative, point-of-performance, and classroom management ideas we can offer in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 approach. This course is for an interdisciplinary audience.
