Speaker

Sharon Saline, Psy.D.

Description

Living in a world that’s increasingly unpredictable, today’s students are more anxious than ever before. Wrestling with social, academic and personal worries, they need tools for managing common insecurities and nurturing self-esteem. For students who are neurodivergent thinkers–those with ADHD, learning disabilities or twice exceptionality (2E), managing anxiety in conjunction with executive functioning deficits can seem especially daunting and unmanageable. In this dynamic training, Dr. Sharon Saline discusses the grip of anxiety and how it affects motivation, productivity, and confidence. She explains what educators can do to help reduce their students’ anxiety, PTSD manage symptoms and change their relationship to worry while cultivating the resilience they need. Dr. Saline will show you how to help students avoid the pitfalls of negative thinking, decrease perfectionism, manage social media, and reduce social awkwardness. She offers tools for teaching all kinds of learners how to realistically evaluate situations, tolerate uncertainty and engage appropriately with peers.
