Social Emotional and Sensorimotor Regulation Strategies: Holistic Approaches for Anxiety, Autism, Sensory Disorders, ADHD, Developmental Disorders, Down Syndrome and Cerebral Palsy – Kathee Cammisa

Salepage link: At HERE. Archive:

When parents of children struggling with social emotional and sensorimotor regulation come to you, they’re already free falling into the pits of parenting guilt.

They’ve exhausted the advice from positive parenting books, scoured the internet for solutions, and even made deals with the devil to end explosive meltdowns and manage difficult behaviors.

They’re busy. They’re (beyond) tired. And they just need you to help them reach a place of better connection and understanding with their child.

I know these families well, and I know that kids struggling with Anxiety, Autism, Sensory Disorders, ADHD, development disorders, down syndrome and cerebral palsy can be challenging to help.

After 25 years of working with children with special needs in home, school, child care and clinical settings, I’ve seen it all and tested thousands of holistic approaches.

I know that there’s nothing more rewarding than watching your most dysregulated kids master critical self-regulation skills and feel empowered to make good choices, think before they act and choose their best behavior (most of the time).

Let me help you experience that same pride in your work.

Join me today for this comprehensive online course and I will fill your toolbox with easy-to-use, holistic solutions that even the busiest of families can apply to their daily life to find more joy and peace in their relationships with one another.

See you in the course,

Kathryne Cammisa, MHE, OTR/L
