SUMMARY:Navigating Meltdowns and Difficult Moments: Addressing Neurodivergent Needs! with Dr. Brenda Smith via Zoom
DESCRIPTION:Navigating Meltdowns and Difficult Moments: Addressing Neurodivergent Needs! with Dr. Brenda Smith Myles via Zoom \nSelf-regulation challenges are among the most frequently observed behaviors in neurodivergent people. Research shows a link between neurology and these behaviors\, highlighting the need to understand these challenges and learn meaningful prevention strategies. \nSelf-regulation challenges may manifest themselves in many ways\, but they sometimes lead to meltdowns.  This escalating behavior follows a 3-stage cycle: rumbling\, rage and recovery.  This session will review the cycle and discuss strategies to be used at each stage\, allowing us to understand how our reactions affect this behavior. \nAbout the Speaker \nBrenda Smith Myles Ph.D.\, formerly a professor at the University of Kansas\, is the recipient of several awards\, including:\n\n\nThe Autism Society of America’s Outstanding Professional Award\nThe Princeton Fellowship Award\nThe Global and Regional Asperger Syndrome (GRASP)\nDivine Neurotypical Award\nAmerican Academy of Pediatrics Autism Champion.\n\nShe has made over 3\,000 presentations all over the world and written more than 300 articles and books on ASD. \n\nCEU’s and CTLE’s available! \n*Scholarships available to Parents/Caregivers/Neurodivergent People with a financial need*   Call: 716-332-4170 | Email: info@parentnetworkwny.org \n*Certificate of completion available upon request*  \nCOST\nParent/Caregiver/ NeuroDivergent Person: $10\nProfessional/Student: $20\nEarning CEU/CTLE: $30\n\n\nRegister today!  Registration closes on Thursday\, October 3 at noon.\nRegistration and more information here.  \nCall: 716-332-4170 | Email: info@parentnetworkwny.org \nDownload Flyer \n

SUMMARY:Caregiver Strategies for Building Infant Social Interaction webinar
DESCRIPTION:Caregiver Strategies for Building Infant Social Interaction \n\nTune in to hear Dr. Laurie Vismara discuss Infant Start\, the Downward Extension of the Early Start Denver Model. \n\n\nThe speaker: \nLaurie A. Vismara\, Ph.D.\, BCBA-D\, is a therapist and researcher in early autism intervention. She has spent the last 20 years contributing to the science and program development of the Early Start Denver Model (ESDM)\, named by Time magazine as one of the top 10 medical breakthroughs for early autism intervention. Over a dozen studies have found the ESDM to be effective and with gains maintained for infants and toddlers with or at risk of autism who have a wide range of learning styles and abilities. Dr. Vismara uses telehealth platforms and travels throughout the United States\, Canada\, and other countries to help publicly funded intervention programs and families develop the ESDM in their communities. Her coauthored book\, An Early Start for Your Child with Autism: Using Everyday Activities to Help Kids Connect\, Communicate\, and Learn\, covers practical strategies and tips to help families use the ESDM at home. Her second book\, Coaching Parents of Young Children with Autism\, helps early intervention providers coach and empower families in the ESDM. \n\nRegister here.
