Replays is an innovative play-based technique for addressing behavioral challenges
for children on the autism spectrum as well as children with other developmental
disabilities. Learn to support the child in playful, highly positively charged re-
enactments of challenging everyday events, incorporating the child’s own intense
responding. Children become desensitized to trigger events, form new emotional
memories, and often, substantial behavioral improvement results. The workshop
teaches the technique, illustrated through extensive use of video clips with a broad
range of children and challenging behaviors.

behavioral regulation, by

Childhood is a time of many changes, challenges and, at times, confusion. This is
even more so for children with psychiatric disorders. In this seminar, we will overview
the most common childhood psychiatric conditions, including mood (depression,
bipolar), anxiety and disruptive behavior disorders (attention deficit/hyperactivity,
oppositional defiant, conduct) and current medical treatments. At the end of the day,
we will look at real world examples of behaviors a child may exhibit in the classroom,
community or home and understand the possible mental health underpinnings of
these behaviors.
