• Regulating Together

    A hands-on workshop series where caregivers and kids learn together to build emotional regulation, resilience, and connection.

  • Regulating Together is a five-week, in-person neurobehavioral program that helps children (ages 8 – 12)—along with their caregivers—build emotional regulation skills. Groups meet twice a week for 90 minutes, with children and caregivers meeting separately but at the same time.

    To learn more about this workshop and methodology, please visit Regulating Together.

    This program is designed for children:

    • With Autism or related neurodevelopmental conditions who experience challenges with emotional regulation, rigidity, anxiety, mood, or outbursts
    • Who are verbally fluent and have approximately average cognitive abilities
    • Who are able to participate in a small group setting
    • Who have a caregiver able to attend the caregiver group, as this is a family-based intervention

    • Dates - Tuesdays & Thursdays beginning October 20, 5:30 – 7:00 PM

  • Emotional Regulation

    This workshop series will focus on emotional dysregulation.

  • Emotional dysregulation means your child has trouble managing strong feelings. They may become upset very quickly (“go from 0 to 60”), react too strongly to the situation, or stay upset for a long time. It may also be hard for them to calm down once they are upset.

    This is different from social skill challenges, which involve things like joining in, talking with others, or understanding social cues. A child with social skill difficulties may struggle in groups but can usually stay calm when things don’t go their way. Emotional dysregulation means the main challenge is controlling emotions and reactions, not just social understanding.

  • Based on this definition, do you think your child has emotional dysregulation?*
  • Can you and your child commit to attending at least 9 of the 10 total sessions?*
