Regulation & Behavior: Looking Beyond the Surface
$17
What if we approached challenging behavior with curiosity about what is making school participation difficult?
Join Dr. Tara Warwick, OTD, MS, OTR/L, for a practical training that helps school-based therapists look beyond what a student does to better understand their needs, skills, relationships, and environment.
Explore 10 possible reasons behind challenging behavior from the student’s perspective, including difficulty communicating needs, understanding expectations, waiting, transitioning, accessing peers, and feeling safe and regulated.
You’ll learn how to:
Look for patterns and develop hypotheses without jumping to conclusions.
Consider how adult responses, task demands, and classroom environments affect participation.
Choose supports that match the student’s needs.
Teach useful communication and participation skills.
Collaborate with the team and reconsider your approach when a strategy isn’t helping.
Build your toolbox with seven practical strategies:
Visual supports • Connection • Peer support • Positive reinforcement • Accommodations and modifications • Functional communication • Transition supports
Relatable school scenarios help you connect these strategies to everyday challenges—from a student repeatedly asking to go home to difficulty waiting in the cafeteria or returning from recess.
Includes the recorded training and downloadable handout. Watch at your convenience and revisit the content anytime.
Designed for school-based OTs, PTs, SLPs, and educators.
