KC:DT 2024 Annual Conference
KC:DT 2024 Annual Conference
Social Skills, Problem-Solving & Attention
Presented by:
Maude Le Roux, OTR/L, SIPT, DIR/Floortime Expert Training Leader
Conference Date:
October 4th, 2024
Workshop Summary:
As therapists we need to wrap our heads around the multitude of behaviors we see in our centers today. Each of these behaviors impede social and learning function even when we know intelligence and cognitive skills are certainly available. In this workshop we want to dive deeper into how development impacts on our ability to have and maintain social connections as well as how it impacts our ability to attend, learn and apply executive functioning skills to the occupation of being a school student.
This workshop is for ALL ages as we need to build and define skills in early development as well as discuss what this would look like in further developmental stages of life. Included will be theory, evidence base as well as tried and true practical ideas / strategies that will be shared throughout the day. The presenter has a casual style of teaching that allows for discussion in different case scenarios and attendees will feel equipped and ready to meet their client expectations with additional thought process, clinical reflection, and practical application.
