A Polyvagal & Sensory Informed Approach to Unlocking Communication

$375.00

3 Semester Credits | ED 501 Course

This course empowers clinicians, teachers, and support staff to unlock communication through regulation, shifting the focus from behavioral management to neurobiological support. By evaluating internal states, environments, and routines, participants apply "bottom-up" shifts to establish the physiological safety and regulation essential for accessing communication. Through analyzing autonomic states and modifying daily contexts, teams learn to transform biological safety into a student’s capacity for communication and social engagement.
