    Understanding and Accepting Autism


    May 1, 2017

    Children in foster care experience a range of adversities, and often require fostering due to abuse which could potentially cause children to appear isolated, respond aggressively to change and find basic communication difficulties.  This webinar will help foster parents to be able to identify whether their child's behavior is a result of a traumatic experience or if the child's behavior may register on the autism spectrum.  There are hundreds of children that are diagnosed with ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) and parents are often times left struggling with what to do to provide support to their child and now with the new changes in the DSM 5, it has left some parents even confused about how to identify certain red flags.  This webinar will provide foster parents with some basic criteria of ASD and treatment that has been deemed most appropriate

    How to Develop a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP)


    May 16, 2017

    From time to time parents find themselves in a battle with their pre-teen and teen about chores, grades, behavior and other responsibilities.  Often times teens use technicalities to get parents out of giving consequences because their original rule was ambiguous.  If you have found yourself in that precarious position you may need to implement a Behavior Intervention Plan (BIP).  A BIP is an agreement between the parent/guardian and the child that outlines Rules and agreed upon consequences.  Having a BIP removes ambiguity and puts the responsibility to follow the rules on the child.  At this webinar, we will go over the steps to developing a BIP and how to implement it once it is complete.

    Foster parents will learn the importance of healing themselves so that they can help with the healing process of their child.  Often times the wounded child in the adult will emerge if they are not aware of past trauma.  The truth is all of us were wounded as children and if we don't heal those wombs they prevent us from parenting our child in the most effect way.  For example, if there was an area in your childhood that you were scared, you can count on that area causing you grief as a parent and wounding our child.
