Course Overview

Self-Regulation relates to a mixture of different things. It links into our ability to focus and concentrate, manage behaviours and react appropriately to different situations, recognise our own and other people’s emotions (such as excitement, frustration and embarrassment) and calm down following a time of excitement or an upsetting situation.

Global Developmental Delay (GDD) is defined by the NHS as ‘when children experience a significant delay in at least two domains of development at an expected age’. These domains include gross motor skills, fine motor skills, communication skills, cognitive development and social interaction.

This training course considers the individual and co-existing impact of dysregulation and global developmental delay and considers how this link into sensory regulation, emotional regulation and flexibility of thought.

This training course will explore issues relating to executive dysfunction and the impact of adverse early life experience (trauma) and how these can relate to the wider impact of global developmental delay.

This training course will consider approaches to help children co-regulate and self-regulate and consider ways of supporting children to develop ways of managing overstimulation.
