New research has demonstrated the impact trauma and attachment has on behaviour, socialization and learning.
This workshop was designed by a therapist, specializing in childhood trauma and attachment, and a special education teacher, with expertise in working with the most difficult of school-based behaviours. The combination of these two areas of specialization has led to a dynamic and practical workshop.
The workshop will cover the developing brain; how fear changes the way we think; the alarm state and hyper-arousal; new interpretations of difficult behaviours; helping students reach a state of regulation; how to build relationships with hurt students; how to set firm limits with true empathy and a Three Step Response for teachers managing behaviors. Participants will be given a case study format for effective planning to meet the needs of challenging students.
