| Alert Programme How Does Your Engine Run? The Alert Program for Self-Regulation |
| "How Does Your Engine Run?" This course will run in two venues in March 2010, in Dublin and in Tring, Herts.
"If your body is like a car engine, sometimes it runs on high, sometimes it runs on low, and sometimes it runs just right." When therapists, teachers, or parents use these simple words to begin the Alert Program, they enter an exciting adventure with children.
The journey unfolds easily with the program’s clearly defined steps for teaching self-regulation awareness. The Alert Program assists children who have learning disabilities and attention problems (as well as typical children) to understand the basic theory of sensory integration related to arousal states. Through the program, children learn a repertoire of strategies that enhance their abilities to learn, interact with others, and work or play. Children not only learn to monitor their level of alertness, but improve in self-esteem and self-confidence. If children are intellectually challenged or developmentally younger than the age of eight, the program’s concepts can be utilized by parents or staff to facilitate optimal functioning. Join us in this practical workshop and learn specific methods that can be incorporated easily into
therapeutic and educational programs.

| This four day course is open to therapists, teachers, caregivers and parents of children and adolescents who are affected by autistic spectrum disorders.

| ASD - Is it Sensory or Behavior? - Problem Identification in Adult and Elderly Population Sensory Integration and Behavior - Problem Identification in Adult and Elderly Population |
| With Carolyn Murray-Slutsky, OTR and Betty Paris, PT. Ms. Paris and Ms. Murray-Slutsky together have formed STAR Services, a company dedicated to providing high quality educational and consultative services. They lecture and present workshops throughout the United States and Europe. They authored the books “Exploring the Spectrum of Autism and PDD- Intervention Strategies”; “Is it Sensory or is it Behavior? - Intervention Strategies” was published in 2004 and “Developing Visual Motor Integration”, 2008.
The speakers skillfully use a layering system to guide participants to a deep understanding of the complexities of autism spectrum disorder and pervasive developmental disorders in the adolescent, adult and elderly populations. The inter-relationships between aging, sensory integrative, communication, and behavioral problems seen in these individuals will be explored.
Sensory modulation, tactile discrimination and motor planning will be discussed in-depth. Videos and case presentations will be used to help participants identify and prioritize the underlying and primary problem and identify intervention strategies for a variety of settings.
Through a variety of learning activities, participants will analyze why people behave the way they do, sort out sensory based problems from other causes, and design intervention strategies to improve the functional performance needed for employment, occupation, and behavioral management in the adolescent and adult with ASD.
