Parents and teachers often describe children with neurological disorders as impulsive, immature, inattentive, disorganized and craving predictability.
While bright, the children often appear to be clueless about everyday situations, conversations, and social conventions. Common behavior management techniques usually do not work with neurological disorders and require different treatments.
Mike Sumler, LMFT, an experienced and knowledgeable counselor at the Joshua Center, works with children, adolescents and adults diagnosed with Tourette, High-Functioning Autism, OCD, and associated disorders. He works closely with school professionals to address the needs of the these students.
Conference participants will learn to:
- Recognize symptoms associated with the neurological disorders of Tourette, OCD and High-functioning Autism and how they impact learning and family life.
- Develop a framework for understanding the behaviors of children with neurological disorders and apply effective interventions.
- Identify classroom strategies that lead to success.
- Identify appropriate accommodations to help the child at school and in extracurricular activities.
