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:Nurtured Heart Approach – 4 Part Series – HYBRID
DESCRIPTION:Nurtured Heart Approach – 4 Part Series – Hybrid \n\nAre you frustrated by behavior challenges that put your child in control of your home?\nHave your discipline methods stopped working?\nDo you want your children to have good morals\, be compassionate\, and be self-confident?\n\nThe Nurtured Heart Approach (NHA) is a language-based approach that can help you regain focus and power and rebuild the love you want in your home. NHA teaches us why our typical parenting methods don’t always work and can even make things worse. The magic rests in its ability to use language to build “inner wealth” and to make positive connections to those around us by focusing on what IS working\, at all times. \nYou will learn how to hold clear limits and consequences while you build positive connections. You will immediately FEEL the difference in your home\, and in time\, you\, your children and your family learn to flourish. \nThe approach is valid for all ages and types of relationships. It is effective for behaviorally and emotionally challenged children (ADHD\, ODD\, ASD\, Attachment\, etc.) as well as typically developing children. You will leave this series with clear techniques and strategies to face the behavioral challenges that brought you in. \nThe approach has much proven success in homes\, schools\, human service agencies and businesses all over the world. We look forward to seeing you Transform!! \n(No prior reading is required) \nPRESENTER:  JOE CLEM\, MA\, LMFT\, BCBA and NHA ADVANCED TRAINER \nA positive psychology\, family systems\, Behavioral Therapist who has worked closely with individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to understand\, reduce and transform challenging behavior and heal the emotional issues which often occur in the family. \n*Certificate of completion available upon request* \nDates for the four-part series are November 29\, December 6\, December 13\, and December 20 from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m.\nREGISTER HERE!
