Strengthening resilience through grounding “inner resources,” an online, circle-based pedagogy - Joe Provisor, MA, MFT
1.5 CEUs
Educational decision-making through a trauma-informed lens has never been more critical. Well before the current pandemic brought the effects of trauma on learning into collective focus, students living in high stress environments have needed extra support to succeed. This PD uses current trauma research and practice to help teachers, therapists, and other youth workers to guide students to access their own “inner resources.” Doing so has proven to profoundly support resilience. In the context of circle-pedagogy, where these resources are shared, students are able to bear witness to the resources of their peers and collective healing is activated. This PD involves “grounding” through art making and body awareness as well as storytelling. As all Circle Ways workshops are primarily experiential, participants will access and ground their own resources
Joe Provisor, MA, LMFT, is the co-founder of Circle Ways, an organization dedicated to training educators to integrate circle and restorative practices as pedagogy into daily classroom routines and systemically into school communities. Joe holds two Masters Degrees, in English and Clinical Psychology, is licensed as a Marriage and Family Therapist, and has been a public school teacher and teacher trainer for over thirty years. Joe is the author of numerous curricular and training materials for language arts instruction and for circle processes, including An Introduction to Council for Educators: Training Manual. He is currently at work on a book to be titled Circle Ways: Pedagogy in the Round.

New Directions in QEEG Assessment and Biofeedback/Neurofeedback Training for ADHD, ASD, Anxiety and Concussions - Michael Linden, PhD
1.5 CEUs
This workshop will present advances in the diagnosis of Autism, Aspergers, ADHD, Anxiety and Concussions using clinical interviews, continuous performance tests, personality tests and QEEG Brain mapping. The use of QEEG brain mapping to discover subtypes of Autistic/Aspergers and ADHD/ADD will be explained. Dr. Linden will discuss the similarities and differences of these disorders and other co-morbid disorders (i.e. anxiety) in reference to symptoms, rating scales responses, CPT results and QEEG and EEG patterns. He will present the use of the multi-dimensional assessment results to individualize treatments, including biofeedback and neurofeedback for long-term success. Research about using neurofeedback and biofeedback in the treatment of athletes with concussions and dementia will be presented.
Michael Linden, PhD Dr. is a licensed psychologist and Board Certified in Biofeedback & Neurofeedback. He is the director of Attention Learning Centers in Orange County and San Diego. Dr. Linden is one of the original pioneers in the application of CPT testing, QEEG Brain Mapping and Neurofeedback for ADD & ASD. He published the first randomized control group study of Neurofeedback with ADD children in 1996 and one of the original studies of the accuracy and reliability of using QEEG with ADD in 1999-2001. He discovered physiological subtypes of Autism and Aspergers, most recently published in 2013 in the book “Images in Autism” and was involved in research at UCSD studying the effects of Neurofeedback with students with ASD in a multi-site study. Dr. Linden is currently the southern California site for a multi-site study involving Neurofeedback with retired NFL players with TBI and Dementia.
