<p>OCD occurs in 1 to 2% of the population and symptoms most often emerge in childhood or adolescence. OCD can cause considerable dysfunction at home and at school, yet is frequently under-diagnosed and under-treated. At Alberta Children’s Hospital we have developed a multi-disciplinary program which provides evidence-based and family-centred care.
In this presentation you will learn about:<br />
1) How to recognize symptom of OCD and distinguish it from other common childhood disorders <br />
2) Evidence-based treatments including cognitive-behavioural therapy and medication, and <br />
3) New research into better understanding causes and treatments of OCD.<strong><br />

<p>The author of Raising Boys in a New Kind of World presents how gender differences have a profound influence on learning and behaviour. Boys’ brains and girls’ brains develop and operate very differently. Current brain research has revealed fascinating differences between the way males and females think and communicate. The implications for teaching and raising boys and girls are profound. Teachers and parents of both genders will benefit from this entertaining and enlightening workshop.

<p>Does your child struggle in a mainstream classroom? Are you concerned that your child may be anxious, overwhelmed or inattentive at school? Does your child struggle to understand new academic concepts or lessons? Do you think your child needs extra support to achieve academic or social success? If you can relate to any of these questions, please join the presenters to explore when a psychoeducational assessment may be warranted for your child. Within the current session, presenters will provide parents and supports with an overview of how psychoeducational assessments can be helpful in identifying a child’s strengths, areas of difficulty, and learning style, as well as help caregivers learn how to advocate through the educational system and community supports to foster growth and success. </p>

<br />Author, mentor and educational consultant, Michael Reist is an internationally recognized authority on the emotional health and needs of children. In his 30 years as a classroom teacher, he knows better than most the high cost of teacher stress and the kinds of stresses kids bring to learning. Michael offers insights from an extensive collection of research, as well as personal experience, while explaining some surprising causes of student stress and seldom talked about causes of educator stress. Attendees will leave with a better understanding of the dynamics of learning and also practical strategies for working more effectively with students of any age. Audience members who work within the education system would benefit most from this session as the content is geared for that audience.</p>
