Exploring the neurocognitive underpinnings of learning and behavior allows us to evaluate and discuss what makes children behave as they do, how adults impact children's behavior, and the ten actions you can take today to enhance communication, collaboration, and compliance. This content-rich web conference will provide collaborative techniques for clinicians, parents, and teachers to use with children who are challenged with conditions such as anxiety, ADHD, depression, EFD, and SPD. Rated as one of the Top 100 Docs to "listen to" on Twitter, Dr. Kenney will share brain-based activities that can be used with children and parents immediately to help families develop skills to raise calm, competent, and ethical children.

Dr. Kenney will discuss:

This web conference is intermediate instructional level and designed to help clinicians:

  1. Utilize the research conducted on the development of young brains from 2–12 years of age;
  2. Apply motor-based interactive strategies to therapy practice;
  3. Explore how the limbic brain, cerebellum, and the frontal lobes behave when changes occur;
  4. Apply research that is not often reviewed in psychology that directly applies to daily clinical work (e.g. OT, functional psychology, physical education, neuroscience);
  5. Explore the role of rhythm and timing in treatment.

Event Reviews from Members

Dr. Kenney provided lots of added resources and examples throughout the workshop. She incorporated current brain research into suggested therapeutic approaches with children. I particularly enjoyed learning about the added interventions that can augment standard psycho-therapeutic approaches. - Catherine Gruener, LCPC, NCC

I loved her theoretical-based, practical, and common-sense approach on how to deal with children. I loved when she said at the beginning "You as a parent need to discipline yourself" (meaning self regulation). - Cristina Fandino EdD, MEd
