Promoting Regulation For All Students
Presented by Tere Bowen-Irish, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Aug 27, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7078Level: Intermediate1 Hour
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.

Neuro-Affirming Approaches: Best Practices In Supporting Autistic Clients Who Have Experienced Trauma
Presented by Christina Marsack-Topolewski, PhD, LMSW
Video
Course: #7109Level: Introductory1 Hour
Individuals with autism have an increased tendency to experience trauma and post-traumatic stress disorder compared with the general population.

The Executive Brain: Support Strategies For Autism Spectrum Disorder And ADHD
Presented by Cara Koscinski, OTD, MOT, OTR/L, CAS
VideoText
Course: #7056Level: Intermediate2 Hours
This two-hour virtual course examines executive function through an interoception-informed, state-based lens, emphasizing that access to executive skills depends on nervous system readiness rather than motivation or compliance. Participants will explore how neurological up- and down-regulation influence executive access and how movement serves as a primary pathway for organizing state, supporting attention, and preparing the brain for cognitive demand. Using The Executive Function Express framework and its Move the Train to Build the Brain strategies, the course demonstrates how purposeful, developmentally appropriate movement can stabilize the “tracks” needed for planning, initiation, flexibility, and follow-through. A strengths-based, neurodiversity-affirming approach is emphasized throughout, guiding participants to shift from behavior-focused interpretations to interventions that build capacity, access, and self-trust.
