Why do students freeze, shut down, or become emotional in class, even when they have the skills to succeed? Emotional regulation shapes learning, motivation, and engagement. When students understand their emotions and feel supported, they are better able to manage stress, build positive relationships with peers and teachers, and learn in a stable environment.

In this webinar, we’ll examine through case studies and insights from neuroscience what blocks student progress and how educators, caregivers, therapists, and other adults can respond with practical, compassionate strategies. Participants will leave with tools to support emotional regulation and create learning environments that feel safe, supportive and effective.

In this webinar you will learn:

• Why emotions can block students’ abilities to utilize executive functions
• Why planners are not the most effective initial tool when supporting students with ADHD
• About strategies and tools that can be used to help students understand their emotions and monitor their emotional readiness to learn
• About approaches that parents and educators can use to support students who are often emotionally dysregulated
