Do you find yourself spending most of your treatment time dealing with maladaptive behaviors in children?  Have you considered why there is such a prevalence of behavioral challenges?  What has changed over the last 30 years to cause this rise in maladaptive behavioral patterns?  In this course clinicians will dig to the root cause of maladaptive behavioral patterns and learn effective treatment strategies to remediate or prevent these issues.  Learn why differentiating between sensory and behavioral reactions makes a difference. Clinicians who can identify the root cause of difficulty are able to treat these problems quicker and more effectively.

This workshop will use effective teaching methods to give learners strategies to incorporate into their practice setting. Learners will be able to explain how sensory processing difficulties can cause or exacerbate maladaptive behavioral patterns, determine if a behavior is intentional, and the reasoning for an overwhelming increase in behavioral issues. This course will provide strategies to create meaningful treatment plans for clients.
