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 />
