Exploring the Essential Features of “Varleisha Gibbs, Christine Wing & Laura Ehlert – PESI – Advanced Self-Regulation”
Constant interruptions like temper tantrums, outbursts, melt-downs, impulsive behaviors, and violence are some of the most challenging behaviors you see in your practice. They can interrupt your therapeutic interventions and stall progress completely – and if left untreated, these behaviors can lead to depression or anxiety disorders later in the child’s life.
Teaching children to intentionally and effectively regulate feelings, thoughts, and behaviors can be difficult, especially when conditions such as ADHD, autism, learning disabilities, and sensory disorders are present. And unfortunately, self-regulation techniques are not one-size-fits-all approaches – they need to be customized to each individual child.
That’s why we’ve brought together leading experts from the fields of speech language pathology, psychology and occupational therapy, for this new, comprehensive course Advanced Self-Regulation: Practical Tools and Strategies for Kids with ADHD, Autism & more.
Learn how you can create an individualized treatment plan filled with advanced, evidence-based tools and strategies to help resolve the dysregulation your client is experiencing — so you can help the children in your care find success in everyday life.

Module 3: Self-Regulation: Proven Strategies for Children with ADHD, High-Functioning Autism, Learning Disabilities or Sensory Disorders
with Laura Ehlert, Psy.D.
This module will help you to better intervene with the challenging child—the one who won’t sit still, doesn’t follow directions, often throws tantrums, or has difficulty waiting for their turn. They may “hit first and ask questions later,” react impulsively and have difficulty expressing what they need. Even though this child is intelligent, caring and kind, their behavior doesn’t reflect these positive qualities – which is confusing and frustrating for their parents, teachers and peers. Discover how to help the child who’s struggling to meet basic expectations and succeed due to challenging behaviors.
Here’s what you’ll learn in this module:
- Formula for self-regulation and successful sensory integration
- Tools to access the sensory processing disorder subtypes
