SP012F Rhythms of Resilience: Nurturing Stability in Youth Care by Balancing Novelty and Routine 4 CEUs TIVE08-202660

With this knowledge, we, as professionals, have the chance to collaborate with autistic system-involved youth to determine the degree of stimulation they need to increase or decrease in their surroundings in order to carry out necessary life skills. We also recognize that some autistic youth are quite task-oriented, while others are much more relationally focused. With this in mind, we will look at how both routine and novel circumstances can increase interest in a task and how accountability and consistency can create calm and personal control so that they have room for more possibilities. Class Objectives: ● Participants will learn to recognize the learning philosophies that they frequently employ in their work with system-involved youth. ● Participants will practice classifying a list of 12 possible activities into novelty and routine categories. ● Participants will explore creating cues to encourage system-involved autistic youth to try out 5 strategies for increasing and decreasing stimulation in order to master daily tasks that are difficult for them.
