Our staff is highly qualified, experienced and compassionate. This combination creates dynamic and very successful training programs.

DESCRIPTION

The course will start with a brief review of brain development and the impact of toxic stress on the part of the brain that has left your child dysregulated, unpredictable, and confusing. Through movement, rhythm, and other sensory based interventions, attendees will learn strategies to help children in moments of dysregulation as well as how to strengthen the lowest parts of the brain so dysregulation happens less often. Robyn will also teach a system (based on the Alert Program and the Zones of Regulation) that will help parents/caregivers and children both NOTICE and then CHANGE their state of regulation. Participants will receive two flipbooks full of activities that promote regulation and teach children how to move into a more regulated state.
