Temper Tantrums—the<br />

Emotional Meltdown<br />

R‰s 3<br />

What do you do when a child has a<br />

tantrum? When a child throws himself<br />

on the floor in a fit of kicking and<br />

screaming, it is difficult <strong>for</strong> everyone. But<br />

emotional meltdowns are the child’s way<br />

of saying, “This is too much right now”<br />

or “I need help!” In this workshop we will<br />

discuss tantrums and techniques that<br />

can be used to help both the child and<br />

the adult work through it.<br />

Autism Spectrum Disorders<br />

R‰ s 2 8<br />

This course discusses autism spectrum<br />

disorders (ASDs) that are characterized<br />

by symptoms which vary according to<br />

the individual. As researchers continue to<br />

learn more about ASDs, definitions of the<br />

diagnosis may become more certain to<br />

identify other underlying problems. Autism,<br />

a biological disorder, is behaviorally<br />

defined depending on the observation of<br />

the individual child. At this training caregivers,<br />

parents and others involved in the<br />

life of an autistic child will receive resources<br />

and in<strong>for</strong>mation on support along with<br />

accurate in<strong>for</strong>mation to determine what is<br />

best <strong>for</strong> the child's environment.<br />
