| Notes: | Wisconsin Autism & Mental Illness Training Childhood is a time of many changes, challenges and, at times, confusion. This is even more so for children with psychiatric disorders. In this seminar, we will overview the most common childhood psychiatric conditions, including mood (depression, bipolar), anxiety and disruptive behavior disorders (attention deficit/hyperactivity, oppositional defiant, conduct) and current medical treatments. At the end of the day, we will look at real world examples of behaviors a child may exhibit in the classroom, community or home and understand the possible mental health underpinnings of these behaviors. Replays is an innovative play-based technique for addressing behavioral challenges for children on the autism spectrum as well as children with other developmental disabilities. Learn to support the child in playful, highly positively charged re-enactments of challenging everyday events, incorporating the child's own intense responding. Children become desensitized to trigger events, form new emotional memories, and often, substantial behavioral improvement results. The workshop teaches the technique, illustrated through extensive use of video clips with a broad range of children and challenging behaviors. | |
