Reframing Behaviour Management in Speech Pathology: Emotional Regulation, Trauma-Informed Practice, and Attachment Theory
 
This webinar is designed for speech pathologists who want to deepen their understanding of behaviour management and reframe their approach using evidence-informed frameworks such as emotional regulation, trauma-informed practice, and attachment theory.
 
What You’ll Gain:
A fresh perspective on what behaviour is and how it can be understood as a response to stimuli, shaped by societal perceptions.
Insight into how reframing language around behaviours can positively impact responses and outcomes.
Practical tools to explore the root causes of behaviours, such as emotional dysregulation and attachment dynamics.
Strategies for co-regulation as a key tool for supporting emotional balance in clients.
 
Important Disclaimer:
This webinar is based on my own clinical research, extensive professional development, and independent learning throughout my career. While it is not grounded in formal research I have conducted, it reflects my clinical reasoning, informed by ongoing feedback, curiosity, and a deep dive into diverse areas of interest.
 
I share these insights because of my commitment to ongoing learning and my desire to contribute to the collective knowledge within our field. I encourage participants to interpret and adapt these ideas to fit their context and continue their own professional development journey.
 
Key Topics Covered:
Understanding Behaviour:
Behaviour as a response to stimuli—neither inherently positive nor negative.
Exploring how societal norms shape perceptions of behaviours.
Examples of reframing language: shifting from "attention-seeking" to "connection-seeking."
Reframing Behaviour Management:
Moving from managing behaviours to understanding their root causes.
Tools like emotion labeling, emotion coaching, and exploring attachment dynamics (e.g., Tuning into Kids, Circle of Security).
Emotional Regulation and Co-Regulation:
Why "self-regulation" is rare and how co-regulation is foundational.
Practical examples of co-regulation in everyday life.
Strategies to support clients in managing emotions collaboratively.
 
Acknowledging Complexity:
This webinar presents a simplified snapshot of key ideas, but the concepts discussed have many layers.
