Join renowned self-regulation expert and author Varleisha Gibbs, PhD, OTD, OTR/L, for this intense 2-day certificate program and discover clinically proven neurological ways to addressing self-regulation in children and adolescents with Autism, Sensory Processing Disorder, and ADHD. Knowing the underlying brain connections can allow you to better identify and design suitable therapies for problematic behaviors including hyperactivity, hypoactivity, aggression, self-stimulatory behavior, and inattentiveness.

You will leave with neurologically designed sensory strategies, cutting-edge treatment methods, and sensory equipment solutions such as mindfulness, social skill programs, music and dance, and respiratory-based treatments.

On the first day, you will explore the basic neurological components that link the brain to clinical practice by:

Wet lab brain dissection video, neuroanatomy, circuits, and function
The autonomic nervous system and its relationship to stress, fear, and primal instincts
Video samples of children in a sensory clinic illustrating excellent outcomes when suitable equipment is utilized

The second day will teach you how to examine and use treatment methods such as:

Using the vagus nerve and neurological system to regulate
Improving social skills and age-appropriate behaviour by addressing fundamental reflexes
Incorporating a mindfulness-based self-regulation program
Using video case studies to study the evaluation process, treatment planning, goal setting, and re-assessment of children exhibiting problematic social, eating, and sleeping habits.

Whether you are a brain specialist or new to this subject, Dr. Gibbs makes it simple to grasp and use. You will be energised by the findings revealed in Dr. Gibbs’ lecture!

Counselors, Teachers/Educators, Marriage and Family Therapists, Nurses, Occupational Therapists & Occupational Therapy Assistants, Physical Therapists/Physical Therapist Assistants, Psychologists, Social Workers, Speech-Language Pathologists, and other Mental Health Professionals are among the target audiences.

Varleisha D. Gibbs, PhD, OTD, OTR/L, is an author and occupational therapist with 18 years of experience dealing with children and adolescents with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorders, and Neurological Disorders. Dr. Gibbs established Universal Progressive Therapy, Inc. in 2003 to provide multidisciplinary and high-quality therapy services to families. As the organization’s first president, she offered sensory integration, autism, and family-centered care therapy programs and education. This endeavor sparked her interest in delivering family-centered care. Dr. Gibbs earned her PhD from Seton Hall University, where she wrote her dissertation on the racial health inequities in the Autism Spectrum Disorder diagnosing process. Dr. Gibbs received her doctorate in occupational therapy from Thomas Jefferson University, as well as her master’s degree in occupational therapy from Columbia University. Dr. Gibbs is the American Occupational Therapy Association’s Vice President of Practice Engagement and Capacity Building. She was formerly the American Occupational Therapy Foundation’s Scientific Programs Officer. Dr. was also the first chair and head of the master’s programs in occupational therapy at Wesley College in Dover, DE, where she was a tenured associate professor. She formerly worked as the director of the PhD programs in occupational therapy at the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia, PA.

Dr. Gibbs is a strong neurology, cognition, and pediatric therapeutic intervention specialist. She continues to lecture and educate practitioners, parents, and teachers on sensory processing skills and self-regulation around the country and worldwide. Dr. Gibbs created the Self-Regulation and Mindfulness program, and her 2017 book, Self-Regulation and Mindfulness: Exercises and Worksheets for Sensory Processing Disorder, ADHD, and Autism Spectrum Disorder, was released (PESI Publishing & Media). She has offered families with techniques to understand and care for their children as co-author of Raising Kids with Sensory Processing Disorders.

Analyze neuroscientific studies on self-regulation and sensory processing in children with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Sensory Processing Disorder, and ADHD.
Distinguish the hallmarks of sensory processing disorder, ADHD, and autism, and explain how the neurological processes of each condition overlap.
Improve therapeutic intervention procedures by using neurological approaches that delve into the central, autonomic, and enteric nervous systems.
Determine the function of primordial reflexes and how they help or hinder client functioning.
Examine the link between the autonomic nerve system and client behavior.
To improve treatment planning, identify neurological responses that are linked with intervention strategies.
Create clinical interventions for clients that exhibit problematic behaviors such as hyperactivity, hypoactivity, aggression, self-stimulation, and inattention.
Use music as a tool to induce sensory sensations, relaxation, and focus in clients.
Integrate a thorough mindfulness program to help individuals improve their self-regulation.
Use role-playing games to gauge clients’ levels of arousal.
Create a thorough treatment plan that covers a wide range of clinical conditions, such as social skills impairments, finicky eating, and sleeping problems.
In order to enhance clinical results, use techniques to address reciprocal regulation between the kid and caregiver.
