Individuals with a disability often experience delays in achieving developmental milestones; however, puberty usually occurs at the same age and rate as typically developing peers. Adolescents with an atypical neurodevelopmental disability may need a more individualised plan of support to adjust to the changes that happen in puberty. This workshop will assist health professionals to provide tailored support to client's and their families/carers in planning for and navigating these conversations.

Target Audience: Occupational Therapists
Self- regulation is a learned, developmental skill and is a key building block which underpins a child’s ability to mature emotionally, cognitively and socially. It directly influences a child’s occupational performance in self-care, academic and social participation. Increasingly, occupational therapists are asked to provide an understanding of challenges to self-regulation experienced by children and offer suggestions for strategies which may enhance their participation across the tasks they want and need to do.
