- **Event Description**: It’s easy to get overwhelmed, frustrated and even angry when a child is having a meltdown. This experience is hard for both the person having the meltdown, as well as for anyone present at the time. In this professional development session, we will begin with a brief review of the stress response system and an introduction to sensory processing. Building upon this information, participants will learn what happens to the body when feeling overwhelmed, under attack, hijacked and helpless. Three distinct stages of a meltdown will be described and discussed beginning with the identification of some triggers, signs and symptoms that may indicate a meltdown is starting. Appropriate prevention and intervention strategies at each stage will be provided and discussed. By understanding the anatomy of a meltdown everyone who cares for and/or works with young children with these types of challenges will be better equipped to understand what a child’s behavior might mean and offer help and support during these difficult times.

There are some great attendance incentives offered this round! Your program can be provided 10 hours of in-classroom support with an experienced OT/behavioral consultant! The requirement? Someone from your program needs to attend 3 out of 5 sessions. Also, EVERY teacher or clinician who attends will receive $$$ to spend on sensory items at PlayTherapySupply.com! Dollars earned can be spent after each session, or banked until the end to purchase larger items.
