Description
Social Regulation (Kuypers and Sautter, 2011) is the ability to adjust one’s level of alertness and modify how emotions and behaviors are revealed in order to meet social goals. Our world is filled with complicated situations that can be sticky to navigate—both emotionally and socially. It’s important to realize that within these situations, regulating emotions/behaviors and managing social communication go hand in hand. Understanding this connection helps in two basic ways: first, to zoom out, broaden the lens and look at the whole child and situation at hand, and second, to zoom in on the child’s specific challenges or delays and focus on working as a team to put together practical applications that work for each child.This presentation provides the glue that makes social regulation stick! An overview of the components of social regulation (e.g., sensory processing, emotional regulation, executive functioning, joint attention, expressive and receptive language, pragmatic language, and perspective taking), and practical tools to support these areas will be the focus.With the focus on the whole child and the view of creating a partnership and integration of home and school, this training is geared towards therapists, teachers, educators and parents/caregivers who work with individuals with social cognitive, executive functioning, communication, and emotional regulation challenges.The majority of the presentation will focus on practical strategies, tools, and concepts that can easily be used the next day to support social regulation in all aspects and environments of a child’s life. Participants will learn to embrace teachable moments using new and time-tested strategies in order to create a successful social regulation lifestyle.Learning Objectives:
Identify the aspects involved with self-regulation (sensory processing, emotional regulation, executive functioning).
Identify the aspects involved with social communication (joint attention, receptive and expressive language, pragmatic language and perspective taking).
Understand the connection between self-regulation and social communication (i.e.. social regulation).
Learn numerous practical tools, strategies, concepts and resources to support your child or student the very next day such as mindfulness techniques, sensory strategies, tips to increase social awareness, using literature and media for social and emotional learning, visual strategies to prime your child and set them up for success, and much more.
