Regulate, Relate, Play: A Sensory-Informed Approach for Supporting Neurodiverse and Trauma-Impacted Clients
Join us for a neurodevelopmentally informed workshop for clinicians working with neurodivergent or trauma-impacted clients. Learn to integrate bottom-up sensory regulation strategies before targeted interventions. Emphasis will be placed on clinician self-awareness, co-regulation within therapeutic relationships, and hands-on activities to develop personalized strategies that foster connection, engagement, and sustainable change.
As a result of this presentation, participants will be able to…
- Describe the core principles of relational neuroscience
- Explain how sensory and emotional safety supports nervous system regulation
- Assess their own sensory preferences and personal signs of dysregulation to understand how self-awareness and regulation impact therapeutic relationships
- Apply personalized regulation strategies to stay grounded and present in session and to support clinician well-being
- Apply practical, sensory-informed tools to support client regulation and engagement, and to promote meaningful change
