East Bay Agency for Children School-Based Behavioral Health Program Thanks to East Bay Agency for Children, each year over 1,000 children in 40 Oakland, Fremont, Hayward, San Lorenzo, Newark and San Leandro public schools receive vital mental health support. Children can act out or become withdrawn as a result of emotional triggers they don’t understand and can’t control. Often these behaviors result from adverse childhood experiences such as abuse, the loss of a loved one, or the stress of living in poverty or in neighborhoods or homes impacted by violence. These resulting emotional and behavioral challenges can interfere with a child’s own socio-emotional and academic development and can be disruptive to an entire classroom. EBAC behavioral health therapists who work on-site at schools counsel children from mainstream classrooms who have been referred by their teachers, principals, parents, and themselves because they are struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, or aggression. Through art, play, and other therapeutic tools, EBAC’s clinicians help these children develop ways to self-regulate their emotions and behaviors. These behavioral health clinicians have a therapy room on the school campus and conduct individual, group, and family therapy as needed to address the specific needs outlined in each child’s formal treatment plan. Additionally, clinicians work with teachers and administrators to create trauma-informed school environments and support a positive school climate. #socialwork #traumainformed #mentalhealth

One of the biggest fears for teachers and medical support teams working with neurodivergent learners is the overwhelming caseloads and lack of time to provide personalized care. With each individual requiring unique approaches, resources, and attention, professionals often feel stretched too thin. The fear is that in a sea of responsibilities, neurodivergent learners may not receive the tailored support they need to truly thrive. When time is limited, it becomes harder to focus on building the deep connections and understanding required for effective learning and care. This not only affects the professionals who want to make a difference but also impacts the individuals who rely on their guidance and expertise. It's critical that we advocate for smaller caseloads and better resources to ensure every neurodivergent learner receives the personalized attention they deserve. #PersonalizedCare #SupportForEducators #NeurodiversityInEducation #TailoredSupport #AdvocateForChange #Neurodivergent #Autism #AuDHD #SLP

This week, we discuss the tricky idea of intersession parent involvement in educational therapy intervention for middle school through college learners. We share the 3 different levels of parental involvement and how to establish agreements around what the learner and clinician need in each level. We also discuss what can happen when a parent's level of involvement doesn’t match learner and clinician needs. https://lnkd.in/gMj-MTj5 #LearnSmarter #LearnSmarterPodcast #MyEdTherapist #KappEdTherapyGroup #parentingseries #parentalinvolvement #parentpartnerships #parentsupport #educationaltherapy #edtherapy

However, it has been a helpful conceptualization for many parents to learn about how their child's brain is wired. Our knowledge of PDA is currently unfolding and I will do my best to share up-to-date, balanced information. To learn more about PDA, comment "110" for a link to my podcast episode that explains further.** #pathologicaldemandavoidance #pda #understandingpda #pdasupport #neurodiversity . .

Your clinical case conceptualization is heavily influenced by your play therapy theoretical model. I’ve often heard play therapists using a humanistic child led model or process oriented play therapy models state that case conceptualization isn’t important. I disagree. I think taking time at the first session to gather important information for your psychosocial assessment so that you can formulate your case conceptualization is important. This information provides the opportunity to get a good understanding about what’s going on with our client. How you use this information for treatment planning is another part of the process. Your play therapy theoretical model will determine how you help your client during their sessions and what you do in your play therapy sessions. Your case conceptualization is influenced by your play therapy model which then influences how you make sense of what’s going on with your clients and how they are progressing through the play therapy process.
