A Collaborative Partnership Forging Relationships and Developing Solutions for Our Most Vulnerable YouthDo kids with social, emotional, and behavioural challenges need more carrots and sticks, or do they need help solving the problems that are affecting their lives? Why do the problems that affects kids lives so often result in conflict between them and their caregivers? What does the research on behaviourally challenging kids tell us about what they really need? In this keynote, Dr. Greene answers these questions…and more!
Exploring Social Thinking’s Core Teaching Frameworks & Related Teaching Strategies Social Thinking is a treatment methodology providing frameworks and related teaching strategies to help kids improve social skills. In this keynote address, Michelle, the originator of Social Thinking, will explore why we need to do more than simply teach social skills in order to help our students more effectively adapt their behaviour based on the situation and the people involved. Michelle will provide strategies that can be utilized at home and school.
Neurological Strategies for Building Students’ Emotional Self-Management, Motivation, Perseverance, and their Construction of Neural Networks of Long-term Concept Memory Stressors in the classroom, including boredom and frustration, can block input from reaching the prefrontal cortex to become memory. The brain’s stress-activated blockade also prevents the reflective executive function control system from communicating with the lower brain response centers. You’ll learn new strategies to promote the understanding necessary for students to construct neural networks of long-term, transferrable concept memory.

She will discuss the continuum of harsh punishment and overt child abuse and the dose rate relationship to negative mental and physical outcomes.
Robbyn Peters Bennett, MA, LPC 1:15 PM – 2:30 PM

Using Brain Research to Help Students Develop Their Executive FunctionsThe information age in which today’s students live in is one where information and validity needs to be critically analyzed. The demands of the accelerated quantity of information incorporated into each grade level and the temptations of immediate gratification from video games and social media, mean today’s students need their executive functions to be at top efficiency.
Judy Willis, M.D., M.ED. 1:15 PM – 2:30 PM

Treatment of Anxiety in Children with ASDAnxiety and emotional dysregulation are very common in children in children with autism spectrum disorders. This workshop illustrates how emotional dysregulation triggers can be conceptualized within a phobia treatment model and then illustrates specific approaches to treating common fears, phobias and meltdown triggers. Adaptation of CBT and uses of gradual exposure will be discussed.
The Neuropsychology of Written Language Disorders A Framework for Effective InterventionsThis workshop will explore the neuropsychological underpinnings of the writing process to assist educators and mental health professionals in both diagnosing and remediating written language disorders in children. The ability to generate and produce written language requires multiple linguistic skills involving both phonological and orthographical functioning.
Using Brain Research to Help Students Develop Their Executive FunctionsYou will learn new strategies and recognize the ones you are already using that are most effective for activating the neuroplastic growth of the executive function networks during their peak of responsiveness. You’ll come away with plans ready to put into action to activate these critical skillsets for all learners in all grade levels and subject areas.
