What: Supporting Emotional Regulation in Neurodiverse Children: Considerations & Strategies for Setting Children Up for Success
When: December 11, 2025, from 6:00-7:30pm
Where: All sessions are offered through Zoom.
Registration is required: https://nysrcasd.org/events/1542/registrations/new
Holidays, while joyful, can also be stressful. For neurodiverse individuals the change in their routine, anticipation, uncertainty, and many other factors, can lead to heightened emotionality (positive or negative) that may lead to “big” emotions. This presentation will focus on these challenges and highlight proactive strategies to both minimize distress and further support the development of emotional regulation skills.
Following participation in the seminar, participants will be able to:
1. Identify proactive strategies to reduce instances of dysregulation.
2. Identify strategies to implement as early warning signs emerge.
3. Identify strategies to increase the acquisition and generalization of emotional regulation skills.
Presenter Bio:
David L. Meichenbaum, Ph.D. is a NYS licensed clinical psychologist specializing in the diagnostic evaluation and treatment of developmental and mental health disorders.
