Kurs i: Self-regulation: When emotions and expressions become a challenge

Within the deafblind population, self-regulation difficulties are a common challenge, and take on many variations. When faced with emotions and expressions that are both difficult to understand and interact upon, we need theory and practical knowledge to help us, help them.
This course will take us on this theoretical and practical journey. Sharing experiences is important, and we aim for this course to be interactive and dialogical in its form. Together we stand stronger.

The course will cover themes and issues such as:
Practical approach when dealing with self-harm
Challenging behaviour and/or challenging expressions
Sharing Professional experiences
Case discussion
Supporting strategies
Methods for identifying stress factors leading to interventions 

The teoretical foundation is based on the following perspectives:
Deafblind specific
Neuropsychological 
Neuropaedagogical
Biological, psychological and social
Dialogical

The course consists of lectures, group discussions, and examples from practice.
