Sometimes the most thoughtful interventions with children/youth in distress don’t work as planned. This can make situations worse and cause frustration for both the child and the helper. In our hands-on presentation, participants learn and practice using tools to assess a child’s/youth’s “zone” of agitation and effectively intervene using a wide range of mind-body techniques.

During this workshop, participants create their own intervention tool kits to immediately use in their education, early intervention, home visiting, and outpatient therapy settings.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

• • Describe developmental pathways to intensity and reactivity in children and adults
  • Understand the impact of intensity, reactivity, and anxiety in youth and adults
  • Explore the “Mountain” model of assessing and intervening at the appropriate level to meet the child’s/youth’s need
  • Complete self-assessment “Mapping the Mountain” on sensory thresholds and temperament and then complete similar assessment on a child or youth
  • Create a tool kit of interventions targeted to each level of the “Mountain”
