  Introduction to Collaborative & Practice Solutions (CPS) Model with Dr. Ross Greene

  [Co-sponsored with CASP Affiliates: Sonoma County Association of School Psychologists (SCASP) and North Eastern California Association of School Psychologists (NECASP)]

  Workshop recording pending approval from Dr. Greene. 

  Workshop Description: Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS) is an evidence-based model of psychosocial treatment originated and developed by Dr. Ross Greene, and described in his books The Explosive Child, Lost at School, Raising Human Beings, and Lost & Found. Rather than focusing on kids’ concerning behaviors (and modifying them), CPS helps kids and caregivers solve the problems that are causing those behaviors. The problem solving is collaborative (not unilateral) and proactive (not reactive). Research has shown that the model is effective at dramatically improving kids’ behavior and their relationships with their caregivers, and at dramatically reducing or eliminating discipline referrals, suspensions, restraints, and seclusions in schools.
  

  

  Dr. Ross Greene is the originator of the model of care described in those books, now called Collaborative & Proactive Solutions (CPS). Dr. Greene was on the faculty at Harvard Medical School for over 20 years, and is now founding director of the non-profit Lives in the Balance, which provides a vast array of free, web-based resources on the CPS model. He has appeared in a wide range of media, including The Oprah Show, Good Morning America, The Morning Show, National Public Radio, Mother Jones magazine, The Atlantic, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, and the Boston Globe. Dr. Greene lectures and consults widely throughout the world and lives in Portland, Maine.

  Is This Autism? Recognizing and Understanding the Less Obvious Presentations of Autism with Dr. Donna Henderson

  NOTE: This workshop will not be recorded. Registrants must attend the full live event to receive CEUs and/or a certificate of attendance.
  

  Workshop Description: Over the past few decades, the prevalence of autism has risen from 1 in 150 to 1 in 36. This is due in part to our better understanding of autistics who camouflage. Recent research suggests that there are still significant numbers of undiagnosed autistics, and that accurate diagnosis can be lifechanging for these individuals (and their families). However, many clinicians, both novice and seasoned, continue to feel ill-equipped to recognize autism and/or to rely on an outdated understanding of it. It is essential that all clinicians are updated on the ways to recognize when their clients may be autistic, particularly but not exclusively their female clients. This workshop will provide that clarity by describing the DSM diagnostic criteria for autism and the many ways they can present, particularly in bright individuals with less obvious autistic traits. This workshop also covers a practice, easy-to-follow approach for clinicians to consider whether or not their clients may be autistic.

  Three literature references in support of the workshop:

  Learning objectives:

  • Describe core characteristics of individuals with a less obvious presentation of autism.
  • Identify ways that autistic females may present differently from autistic males.
  • Describe a structured and objective

  

  
  

  Dr. Donna Henderson has been a clinical neuropsychologist for over 30 years. She is passionate about identifying and supporting autistic individuals, particularly those who camouflage, and she is co-author (with Drs. Sarah Wayland and Jamell White) of two books: Is This Autism? A guide for clinicians and everyone else and Is This Autism? A companion guide for diagnosing. Dr. Henderson’s professional home is The Stixrud Group in Silver Spring, Maryland, where she provides neuropsychological evaluations for children, adolescents, and adults who would like to understand themselves better. She is a sought-after lecturer on the less obvious presentations of autism, autistic girls and women, PDA, and on parenting children with complex profiles. She also enjoys providing neurodiversity-affirmative training and case consultation for other healthcare professionals.
