Description

Course Format

Recorded webinar.


Description: This training is designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge necessary to effectively work with children and adolescents who exhibit oppositional, defiant, and disruptive behaviors. The training will review diagnostics, including how to differentiate externalizing symptoms that overlap different disorders, including ADHD, Conduct Disorder, Autism Spectrum Disorders, Reactive Attachment Disorder and Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Participants will learn about the brain's function with mood and behavior as well as the function of behaviors and how they are often used to communicate unmet needs. The training will focus on immediate techniques and interventions for use with disruptive behaviors including impulsivity, transitions, executive functioning skills, self-control and more.  By the end of the training, participants will have a better understanding of how to effectively plan and implement strategies to work with this challenging population.

Learning Objectives:

  1. Distinguish the diagnoses of different externalizing disorders with overlapping symptoms.
  2. Describe the brain's function with mood and behavior
  3. Identify the functions of behavior as communication of unmet needs.
  4. Apply practical techniques for excessive movement, impulsivity, effective transitions, and self-control.
