My adult child has autism, and as a teacher/tutor, I often have students with disabilities. I have employed methods based on polyvagal theory to help my son and my students with autism, ADHD, and other disabilities. I’ve always taught with a Jane Nelsen-style of positive discipline, but it is hard when a child doesn’t yet have the social skills to have a problem-solving conversation. Polyvagal theory has been a lifesaver! People outside the autism community think I’m crazy, and my ex-husband doesn’t quite get it.
On the other hand, I have tutored children with all kinds of mild-to-moderate neurodiversity issues. They love working with me and have no problem doing work they didn’t want to do before. With all children: I never force, they always have a choice, and if I see signs of boredom, tiredness, etc., I switch to another activity. I ask them a lot of questions and let them lead the way. Consider this: if a child adamantly does not want to do something, there is almost always a good reason.
Thank you for the webinar today. I am always searching for more knowledge of anything that can help people.
I do agree and endorse the understanding of brain science validating what is practice in the therapy room. It helps to relate and trust the therapeutic relationship and process.
Grateful to NICABM, Ruth and all legends sharing their wisdom and experiences.
This was so informative and helpful. I am an undergraduate student with a major in dance and minors in psychology and gerontology. I was curious about what Pat was referencing when talking about clients who have experienced trauma later in life. I wonder if the thoughts about using a sensorimotor process changes for clients 65 and older. I am also interested in pursuing my master’s in dance movement therapy. I wonder if she has any experience with any treatment modules regarding DMT or interoception and if she has any reading recommendations about these types of treatment. Thank you so much for providing these webinars!
Hurt People, hurt people…. There is so much information going through all of your modules/courses at NICABM …. This series being no different than all your others.
