Gowanus Treehouse will be hosting a workshop on January 12th from 1-2:30pm.This past year Gowanus Treehouse began working with local Early Childhood Development Center’s Head Start program (BSECDC) to bring them 3 sensory gyms in Bed-Stuy. We are now setting our sights on expanding our impact internationally. In February 2025, Gowanus Treehouse will be joining the medical team at the Global Health Force, for their mission trip to the Philippines. Global Health Force (GHF) is a nonprofit organization seeking to provide health care to underserved communities addressing global healthcare challenges to make meaningful differences through the spirit of volunteerism. We are seeking support to cover the expenses of allowing us to bring our experience in occupational therapy and creating therapeutic spaces to communities in the Philippines.
Please join us for an interactive, one-hour workshop led by pediatric occupational therapists, designed to equip parents, caregivers, and educators with effective tools to help children with self-regulation difficulties reach their potential in social situations. Learn how to foster social competencies vs. basic social skills, improve social awareness and the development of perspective taking, build relationship skills and executive functions to connect with peers/others, and learn how self-regulation impacts responsible decision making skills. Through sharing approaches to common problems seen through mini-case presentations, you’ll take away strategies that can be implemented into daily routines that can help a child navigate their complex social environment more successfully.
There is a zoom option as well for those who cannot attend in person. All participants will receive materials and presentation notes to take home. Additionally, the Treehouse is offering open gym play time ($30) led by an occupational therapist for children during the workshop.
