Teaching Emotional Regulation Through Play

ABA CEU Workshops Emotional Regulation.png

This workshop is designed for BCBAs, BCaBAs, teachers, parents and all who are involved in remote curriculum development for various learners, including those on the Autism Spectrum.

This workshop will facilitate attendees to:

1. Consider what play experience or leisure activities open up to natural opportunities to teach emotional regulation.

2. Learn how to balance the expectation that a child express their emotions in an "appropriate" manner while also providing them with a platform to share their feelings freely.

3. Encourage children to utilize self-management strategies and navigate what they need, in those hard moments, to best express their emotions in a manner that gains them support.

4. Begin introducing and practicing those strategies, what to do and what not to do, in play situations that kids actually enjoy...taking the sting and speed out of the situation and practice of the strategies before they are really needed.
