After the Meltdown

When working or living with a child/adolescent with an Autism Spectrum Disorder, ADHD, or another developmental/behavioral disorder, meltdowns may occur that may be a result of sensory overload, cognitive overload or due to inability to self-regulate emotions. This full day seminar will provide many practical hands-on strategies. This information and fun-packed seminar is designed for parents, educators, therapists, counsellors, psychologists and all those who are interested in providing supports to children/adolescents with an ASD, ADHD, behaviour disorders or other disabilities.
