Keeping Calm When They’re Carrying On
While the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates the prevalence of autism in the United States as 1 in 88 children,
the CDC’s number does not take into account younger children who may not be receiving medical or educational support
services. When these children are included, the number can be as high as 1 in 50. While diagnostic tools continue to advance,
children are often not identified early enough to benefit from the positive impact of proven early intervention strategies. It is
widely accepted that early assessment and intervention has far reaching benefits as these children develop the pre-academic,
social/emotional and behavioral skills needed for later success.
This workshop provides an insight into the diagnostic process that is used with young children who demonstrate atypical
developmental patterns. A variety of treatment approaches, and the research supporting each approach will be discussed and
interventions using the approaches will be practiced in an interactive lab-based format throughout the day. This workshop
examines issues regarding emotional regulation, sensory processing, communication, and socialization. Strategies to support
the development of positive replacement behaviors will be presented. This workshop will provide participants with effective
teaching strategies backed by the latest research, giving participants the tools you need to facilitate successful early intervention
in pre-school children on the spectrum.
