FEATURING A SCREENING OF EXCERPTS FROM THE DOCUMENTARY FILM
FROM LIVES IN THE BALANCE, _THE KIDS WE LOSE_ School-based
professionals, classroom teachers, administrators, mental health
clinicians, school nurses, and paraprofessionals are increasingly
challenged to effectively meet the needs of youths with social,
emotional, and behavioral challenges. In schools, tight budgets,
high-stakes testing, and Zero Tolerance policies haven't made the task
any easier. In clinical settings, these youths can be extremely
difficult to work with, engage in treatment, and help. By the time
these youths end up in juvenile detention and treatment settings, they
are often alienated, disenfranchised, and marginalized and have lost
faith in those trying to help them.
This CONFERENCE IS ABOUT HOW TO START MOVING THINGS IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION, and features cutting-edge interventions and dynamic
speakers, including DR. TINA PAYNE BRYSON, psychologist and _New York
Times_ bestselling co-author of The _Whole Brain Child _and_ No-Drama
Discipline;_ DR. ROSS GREENE, psychologist and _New York Times_
bestselling author of _The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Lost &
Found, _and _Raising Human Beings _and Founding Director of Lives in
the Balance; DR. BETTINA LOVE, Associate Professor of Educational
Theory & Practice at the University of Georgia, whose research focuses
on the ways in which urban youth form social, cultural, and political
identities; DR. MONA DELAHOOKE, child psychologist and author
of _Social & Emotional Development in Early Intervention, _and DR.
LAURA ROGERS, Senior Lecturer and Co-Director of the School
Psychology Program at Tufts University. THE CONFERENCE ALSO FEATURES A
SCREENING OF EXCERPTS FROM THE FORTHCOMING DOCUMENTARY FILM, produced
by Lives in the Balance, _The Kids We Lose._

_REGISTRATION: (8:00 to 8:30) ~ Continental Breakfast_
KEYNOTE: (8:45 to 10:15) ~ _Tina Payne Bryson, PhD
_NO-DRAMA DISCIPLINE: Based on the ideas from Dr. Bryson's _New York
Times_ bestseller _No-Drama Discipline _(with Dan Siegel), this
keynote highlights the link between a child’s neurological
development and the way clinicians and educators react to misbehavior,
providing an effective, compassionate roadmap for dealing with
challenging behavior in the classroom. Defining the true meaning of
the “D” word (to instruct, _not _to shout or reprimand), Dr.
Bryson explains how to reach a child, redirect emotions, and turn a
meltdown into a teachable moment. By doing so, the cycle of negative
behavior (and punishment) is essentially brought to a halt, as
problem-solving becomes a win/win situation.
KEYNOTE: (10:30 to 12:00) ~ _Ross W. Greene, PhD
_COLLABORATIVE & PROACTIVE SOLUTIONS: SHIFTING FROM POWER AND CONTROL
TO COLLABORATION AND PROBLEM-SOLVING: _Collaborative & Proactive
Solutions_ (CPS) is the evidence-based model Dr. Greene described his
influential books _The Explosive Child_, _Lost at School_, _Lost &
Found_, and _Raising Human Beings_. The CPS model has transformed
thinking and practices in countless families, schools, inpatient
psychiatry units, and residential and juvenile detention facilities
throughout the world, and has been associated with dramatic reductions
in adult-child conflict, challenging behaviors, disciplinary
referrals, detentions, suspensions, seclusions, and physical,
chemical, and mechanical restraints. The model represents a
significant departure from discipline-as-usual: it focuses on
solving problems rather than on modifying behavior, emphasizes
collaborative rather than unilateral solutions, encourages proactive
rather than reactive intervention, de-emphasizes diagnostic
categories, and provides practical, research-based tools for
assessment and intervention.
LUNCH: (12:00 to 1:00) ~ Lunch Provided
BREAKOUTS: (1:00 to 2:30 and 2:30 to 4:15)
TEACHING THE DEVELOPING BRAIN: (First Breakout Session Only) _Tina
Payne Bryson,_ PhD
Using stories, examples, and lots of humor, Dr. Bryson
encourages clinicians and teachers to keep their own developing brains
in mind as they nurture their students’ growing minds.
GET THE BALL ROLLING: IDENTIFYING LAGGING SKILLS AND UNSOLVED
PROBLEMS, _Ross W. Greene, Ph.D _
If you want to solve problems collaboratively and proactively with
kids, you'll need to identify those problems proactively. In this
breakout group, you'll learn how to use the _Assessment of Lagging
Skills and Unsolved Problems_ (ALSUP), an instrument developed to help
clinicians, educators, and caregivers focus their intervention
efforts.
WHEN THE EDUCATIONAL GOALS DIDN'T CHANGE, _Laura Rogers, EdD, and
David Aptaker, JD_
How will the unanimous Supreme Court ruling on the benefits
CHILDREN WITH DISABILITIES ARE entitled to under IDEA (Endrew F v
Douglas County School District) affect your practices? This session
will provide an opportunity to review the significance of the
Court’s decision within an historical context. We will discuss how
our practices can align with the Court’s determination that for all
students with disabilities, "the IEP is reasonably calculated to
enable the child to _make progress appropriate in light of the
child's circumstances_.” Participants will receive documentation for
attending a NASP-approved workshop of 1.5 hours regarding ethical
practice and/or the legal regulation of school psychology.
KIDS DO WELL IF THEY CAN (MOVE)! (Second Breakout Session
Only), _Greg Santucci, MS OTR _
Active students make better learners. This breakout session will
explain sensory processing and how it impacts a student's behavior and
learning. Participants will learn about the different sensory systems,
sensory "diets," and how to help kids improve their self-regulation
skills. Get ready to MOVE and learn practical strategies to implement
in clinical settings and classrooms immediately.
THE KIDS WE LOSE Screening of Excerpts: (4:30 to 6:00)
REGISTRATION: (8:00 to 8:30) ~ Continental Breakfast
KEYNOTE: (8:45 to 10:15) ~ _Bettina Love, PhD
_MOVING BEYOND SURVIVE: A PEDAGOGY OF MATTERING: All clients/students
have potential that clinicians and educators must nourish, protect,
and grow for a better world. Dr. Love’s talk will focus on how
innovative civic education, students’ knowledge production and
multiple identities, and Hip Hop culture can be cultivated to engage
clients/students in the work of fighting for visibility, inclusion,
and justice.
KEYNOTE: (10:30 to 12:00) ~ _Mona Delahooke, PhD
_THE TIP OF THE ICEBERG: LOOKING BEYOND BEHAVIOR IN HELPING
BEHAVIORALLY CHALLENGED KIDS: Dr. Delahooke will present a
"developmental iceberg" model that describes why challenging behaviors
(what we can readily observe in a child) are only the tip of the
iceberg, with the causes and triggers often invisible. When we
understand the underlying reasons for challenging behaviors, we can
provide the correct supports and help build psychological resilience
through trusting and engaged relationships. Video-taped examples will
provide a compelling argument about the need to shift the lens from a
disorder and deficit-based framework to a relationship-based paradigm
on the cutting edge of neuroscience, mental health and education.
LUNCH: (12:00 to 1:00) ~ Lunch Included
BREAKOUTS: (1:00 to 2:30 and 2:30 to 4:15)
GET FREE: CREATIVITY, HIP HOP CIVICS ED, INTERSECTIONALITY, &
JOY, _Dr. Bettina Love, PhD
_Discover a civics curriculum for youth, entitled GET
FREE, inspired by the exuberance, ingenuity, political energy,
resistance, love, and DIY model of underground Hip Hop. As relevant to
clinicians as it is to educators.
SOLVING BEHAVIORAL CHALLENGES FROM THE BOTTOM-UP: A NEURODEVELOPMENTAL
APPROACH, _Mona Delahooke, PhD
_Dr. Delahooke will describe how caregivers and professionals can help
bolster basic capacities that lead to successful social problem
solving and symbolic reasoning. Video examples will highlight how
emotional co-regulation, an appreciation of individual differences,
and an understanding of the child’s social and emotional milestones
help create a roadmap for interpersonal safety, communication, healing
and hope.
STICKERS DON'T SOLVE PROBLEMS, _Ross Greene, PhD_
Learn how to
solve problems collaboratively and proactively using the three steps
of “Plan B” and see what it looks like in schools.
SCHOOL REFUSAL: I’M NOT GOING TO SCHOOL, _Laura Rogers, EdD
_What are the best ways to
help clients/students who are refusing to come to school? This
breakout will review contemporary research and recommendations for
responding to children who are not coming to school. The reasons
children do not attend school are varied, and often shift over time,
so that whatever first kept a child away may no longer be the primary
cause. We will highlight several approaches, focusing on one case
study using the principles of Dr. Greene's Collaborative & Proactive
Solutions model. Breakout participants will have an opportunity to
adapt the intervention model to a situation occurring in their own
work.
