Anxiety is a part of everyone’s life. We fear business deadlines, public speaking, and more. Some of our learners fear common things like toilets or fingernail clipping, or more unique things, like JOANN Fabrics. Left untreated, the inability to cope with these stressors can become debilitating. Students are unable to go to the mall. Parents are afraid to take their children to birthday parties. Quality of life is significantly limited. In this workshop, I will explain why traditional methods fail in teaching students to cope with stressors and will teach you an alternative approach that has produced dramatic improvements with dozens of students.
By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:
- Explain why traditional approaches to calming tend to be ineffective
- Identify potential target stressors for their students/children
- arrange and conduct a “calm count”
About the Presenter
Really detailed and structured course.
Thank you Steve Ward for taking the time to explain "calm counts". I appreciated your examples as to how to apply it with several cases and learner scenarios. Adding clarity reduces uncertainty!
I found the recommendations very practical and unique especially considering caseloads with learners who do not have advanced language repertoires. Thank you!
This presentation relied heavily on hypothetical constructs and subjective language. Overall, I do not feel this presentation meet the standards of scientific rigor of the field.
This was an excellent training. The information was presently clearly. It can be implemented easily and immediately after thoughtful planning.
bummer about the technical issues but I was able to get most of the ideas and really enjoyed them. I will look forward to more on this topic. Would love more physical supports and guides.
Actually able to apply this!
I enjoyed the material and how it was presented. Thank you.
Great presentation!
This class was a must for anyone. Anxiety is everywhere and for everyone and understanding tools to help the learner feel safe in a stressful situation is key
