Learn about the Polyvagal Theory and how to apply practical strategies for safety in the home, school and therapeutic environments;
Explore the common behaviours that we might see as a result of compromised brain development;
Develop a new understanding of a child’s behaviour through The Window of Tolerance and the trauma lens for trauma-based symptoms and explore practical strategies to be used to prevent challenging behaviour;
Explore practical strategies to be used to prevent challenging behaviour;
Learn how to assess trauma-based symptoms and behaviours within the ‘Pathways’ framework to review progress and guide treatment planning;
