How to use the Environment to Address Arousal and Hyperactivity

Date: Friday December 7, 2018 Time: 10:00 AM PST | 01:00 PM EST

Overview:

Our environments are becoming increasingly complex and stimulating. We take in more visual and auditory information than ever before . With current research advances in neurology, there is new evidence of the neurological impact such stimulation imposes. What is in our environment greatly affects our function. Our sensory systems take information in to use it to produce behavior. Even those with out diagnoses can be challenged by an over stimulating environment.

Furthermore, conditions such as Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing disorders pose even more complexities and call for enhanced intervention approaches.This course reviews the connection of context and environment to function. In order for an accurate review,it will include psychological and neurological overviews.

The overviews allow the attendees to make connections and better understand the neuroanatomical changes, alterations to neuronal rhythmic oscillations, and functional presentations of the nervous system based on the context and environment. A brief review of treatment approaches will include sensory work through the nine neurological senses, Mindfulness,and Rhythm therapy. Following this session, participants will be able to describe the related neurological dysfunction based on external sensory stimuli, the role of the nine senses,define and describe neuronal oscillations and their connection to function, and relate current research.

Why should you Attend: Currently, teachers, therapists, and parents find themselves challenged with hyperactivity and other complex behaviors by children. Weather in the classroom or at home, children's arousal levels can impact our lives immensely. Working with conditions such as Complex Trauma, Conduct Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorders can be a huge undertaking even for the experienced teacher or practitioner. In this course, you will gain the essential knowledge of the impact of the context and environment on function.
