ONLINE COURSE: Self-Regulation at School for Children with Autism, ADHD, or Sensory/Emotional Challenges

This 3-hour recorded course is a complete guide to understanding and applying self-regulation techniques for children with autism, ADHD, and other emotional or sensory challenges. Teresa Garland, MOT, OTR/L, international speaker and author, shares her experience from training thousands of professionals, providing practical solutions for the classroom, therapy sessions, and home.

Throughout the course, you will learn how to keep children calm, organized, and focused, using both immediate calming techniques and long-term interventions to strengthen positive behavior. You will discover strategies to enhance the participation of children with autism, reduce repetitive behaviors, and address sensory needs, as well as methods to support children with ADHD in managing their energy and improving their social skills.

The program includes practical tools such as:

• Techniques for regulating energy and emotions
• 4-minute HIIT exercises for classroom use
• Gradual sensory exposure
• Use of visual aids to reduce anxiety
• “When-Then” interventions to reinforce positive behavior
• Preparatory activities for preschoolers to support social interaction through movement and vocal exercises

Finally, the course explores two key research-based theories that enhance the understanding of behavioral mechanisms, as well as the latest developments in the neuroanatomy of autism and how these translate into practical application.
