Self-regulation skills are critical to a diverse range of emotional, behavioral, social, and physical health functions. When self-regulation skills are compromised, the likelihood of several short- and long-term outcomes such as problematic behaviors and risky decision making increases. Exposure to childhood trauma impedes self-regulation development and abilities. Designed for professionals, this 2-hour course examines the impacts of toxic stress, adversity, and complex trauma on self-regulation abilities in children and adolescents. The presenter identifies underlying causes and neurobiopsychosocial factors associated with poor self-regulation along with its reciprocal relationship with attachment formation, language development, emotional intelligence, sensory processing, theory of mind, and executive functioning. Self-regulation deficits among children diagnosed with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), autism spectrum disorder (ASD), and fetal alcohol spectrum disorder (FASD) are discussed as well as implications for screening and intervention for self-regulation problems. In particular, the presenter identifies ways to address and manage self-regulation problems in younger individuals. Empirically based research findings and case study examples are emphasized throughout.
