Assessment techniques that work! Use an effective, comprehensive framework to evaluate executive skill capacities in children and adolescents; know when to intervene and help clients overcome executive function challenges.

Full Description:
Research is now clearer than ever: a child who can listen, pay attention, follow instructions, and persist on a task will achieve greater success in school and in life. Children and adolescents who are self-regulated have mastered executive skills such as goal setting and self-monitoring. Direct formal methods of individually administered, standardized, norm-referenced measures dominate assessment practices in clinics and schools. Traditional measures of executive skills are limited and don’t address application to all arenas of life causing an overgeneralization of results.
This webinar will introduce a comprehensive framework to clarify the nature of a child’s executive skill capacity and how it or is not used in everyday functioning. Concepts from the importance of a child’s executive skill capacities to intervention planning will be discussed.

Led by an experienced therapist in the field, this webinar outlines the complex issues faced by survivors of suicide and provides medical and behavioral health professionals with treatment strategies for individuals at all stages of

recovery.

Full Description:
Every 15 minutes someone in the United States dies by suicide, leaving behind 6-8 loved ones, known as survivors of suicide. The word suicide continues to be associated with shame and stigma, leaving many individuals who need mental

investigate the complex grieving process associated with this loss and to provide new strategies for working with individuals at all stages of recovery. Ms. Falasco brings both her extensive training in prevention and postvention to this

webinar, as well as her personal experiences as a suicide survivor.

Discover why Inattentive ADHD is different from other types of ADHD and learn the latest information about screening, SCT, symptomatology, comorbidities, treatment modalities, medication, and how this disorder may be mentioned in DSM-5.

Full Description:
Why is Inattentive ADHD Different? New Information
Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder, Predominately Inattentive Type is NOT a “calmer” or “lighter” version of ADHD. The neurophysiology, symptoms, treatment methods, and medications for this disorder are different than the other

types of ADHD. Since patients with Inattentive ADHD are not typically as disruptive as those with other types of ADHD, this type is commonly misunderstood or goes unrealized by the mental health professional. Little research has been

done compared to Combined ADHD and most seminars and webinars only spend a small portion of time on Inattentive ADHD.

This one-hour course will provide participants with the latest information about screening, Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT), symptomatology, comorbidities, treatment modalities, medication, and how Inattentive ADHD may be mentioned in

DSM-5.

What You Will Learn:

Define treatment methods for Inattentive ADHD and how such methods are different than those for other forms of ADHD
Outline the common co-morbidities of Inattentive ADHD
Evaluate new research about Sluggish Cognitive Tempo and its relationship to ADHD
Discuss how Inattentive ADHD may be described in DSM-5

Your Presenter:
KEVIN T. BLAKE, PhD, P.L.C., is a licensed psychologist and author with over 20 years of experience as a nationally recognized authority on learning disorders and ADHD in children, adolescents, and adults. This interest spurred from his

own struggles overcoming a reading disorder/dyslexia and hearing impairment.

Dr. Blake serves as a member of the American Psychological Association, International Dyslexia Association, Children and Adults with Attention Deficit Disorders, Learning Disabilities Association, and the National Attention Deficit

Disorder Association and was a 1991 delegate to the National Institute for Literacy’s “LEAD 2000 Congress,” where he advised Congress on diagnostic and remediation issues.

Oppositional Defiant Disorder doesn’t have to be complicated! This web course provides mental health professionals with a three-step approach to treating the signs and symptoms of ODD and co-occurring disorders in children and teens,

ages 4-14.

Full Description:
Confronting Defiance
According to the AACAP, evidence suggests that between 1 and 16% of children and adolescents have Oppositional Defiant Disorder (ODD). Challenged by basic rules of society, this disorder causes a struggle between the parent and child and

ultimately the therapist and child. Tantrums, arguing, defiance, blaming, and anger when left untreated may disrupt classrooms, strain families, and lead to a risk of juvenile delinquency. Conflict may also go on to affect the

behavioral, academic, and social success of the child.
This webinar discusses ODD, similar disorders, and the effect on young children and teens. Using a three-step approach to intervention called SimpleThree, mental health professionals will learn how to treat ODD symptoms in children and

adolescents as well as educate parents to reinforce good behavior to maintain success.

Course Includes:

What You Will Learn:
Identify Oppositional Defiant Disorder, children at risk, and differentiate from similar childhood diagnoses by etiology and behavior
Apply a three-step, evidence-based approach to intervention called SimpleThree with defiant children ages 4-14
Incorporate a behavioral modification system using clear, measurable rules to encourage good behavior and structure
Learn how to strategically follow up with families to reinforce effective parenting skills and maintain success and support with easy-to-access resources

Work from Syracuse University and a master’s degree in education from The College of Saint Rose. Mr. Halverson currently runs an outpatient mental health private practice where he specializes in the treatment of child and family
