Content
Tired of writing the umpteenth behavior plan for the same student with an emotional disturbance? It's not your fault. Many behaviors are the result of long-standing and reinforced "internal working models" of self, others, and the world. This inner model determines how students perceive and receive their experiences, including school participation. Join Tim Halphide who will guide you through the development of these internal models and how to address them with therapeutic "treatment-planning" techniques. Evidence for these forms of supports, strategies and interventions are found in the research of such iconic therapeutic figures as Erickson, Bowlby, Ainsworth, Winnecott and more. Through understanding psychosocial stages of development and the processes of attachment, you will learn how to properly match easy-to-use, skill-based supports and strategies to your student's unique needs. Is it really just a phase? Come find out.
