Working with Children with Reactive Attachment Disorder
March 24, 2010
9:00 a.m.-3:30 p.m.
CESA #3
Workshop Description:
Reactive Attachment Disorder is a serious clinical condition that many educators are struggling to understand. This workshop will explain the diagnostic characteristics of RAD (Reactive Attachment Disorder) and help participants know how to appropriately help. Sorting through the wealth of information on RAD can be a daunting task. Paul Gasser, Marriage and Family Therapist, will identify common problems that adults make when trying to manage the numerous behavioral problems that students with RAD can create in the classroom. He will give you strategies for:
• Avoiding control battles that steal instructional time and leave you exhausted at the end of the day.
• Dealing with their oppositional and non-compliant behaviors.
• Managing the temper tantrums.
• Building cooperative relationships.
• Working with parents of students with RAD and the treatment community.
• Creating responsible and respectful students.
Paul’s workshop will help you to better understand this complex condition and leave with strategies that you can use immediately in your classroom the next day.
