“One area of HUGE concern for parents and caregivers is ‘what happens when they are gone … how will their children survive?’…”

 

Tickets are disappearing fast!!! We are very excited to invite you to an event (available live or via webcast) that is a major interest to anyone supporting a child or adult with FASD (or any neurological disorder or disability such as Down Syndrome, Autism, etc). One area of HUGE concern for parents and caregivers is “what happens when they are gone … how will their children survive?”.  As we all know, individuals with FASD rarely are able to lead independent lives – and most have a major difficulty managing money.  The Henson Trust exists however most parents are not aware of it … and perhaps more importantly, there are some very serious negative implications due to ODSP maximum income limitations.  As a result, a Henson Trust may not be the best vehicle to provide a disability trust. Speaker: Jennifer Stebbing; Ross McBride Date:   next Saturday June 8, 2019 10:00am-11:30am Cost:  Free To Register or for more info: Please refer to our website Events tab  http://www.hamiltonfasdsupport.ca/?page_id=33 0r Event Calendar tab:  http://www.hamiltonfasdsupport.ca/?page_id=1645

Workshop Description:

There is always a reason for the behaviour! This one-day workshop will provide an understanding of the integrated neurobiology of sensory processing and emotional/relational problems that result in “challenging behaviour”.

Participants will be invited to forever more become behavioural detectives, using clinical reasoning, to look deeper than the surface.  By seeking to understand why people do the things we do, from a myriad of perspectives, we allow compassion into the equation. This alone changes the brain – but the mindset of clinical curiosity supports treatment strategies at home, at school and in all levels of relationships.

Participants will learn:
•    To identify and discern the neurobiology of challenging behaviour
•    To differentiate between the sensory, emotional and cognitive components that drive behaviour
•    To develop a repertoire of sensory strategies to support behavioural challenges in a variety of contexts
•    To develop a toolbox of relational tools for co-regulation through attunement and compassion
Limited Caregivers Bursaries Available
