“Is That a Tantrum or a Window into a Child’s Vulnerability?”
Neurodivergent children are especially vulnerable to stress. This might result in a range of behaviors, from dysregulation to violent outbursts, which impact a child’s ability to learn and to engage in social activities. Join Dr. Terrie Briggs and explore how stress can impact behavior and how to best support neurodivergent children.

Description: Children who have neurocognitive vulnerabilities often have a history of reacting to stress by behaving inappropriately. These behaviors can range from violent outbursts to acting socially inappropriate. Are these behaviors caused by overwhelming stress that the child is experiencing? Should these behaviors be extinguished before the underlying cause of stress is discovered? In this presentation, participants will explore causes for a child’s inappropriate behavior and strategies that everyone in a child’s life can use when they need help with re-regulation.
