Polyvagal Theory Basic, and it’s context in Development Delays
6 March 2023
1:00pm – 2:30pm UTC
We invite you to the event “Polyvagal Theory Basic, and it’s context in Development Delays” on the 6 March 2023. The polyvagal theory is an exciting and important new focus in IDD. This innovative way of understanding the human autonomic nervous system has garnered enormous attention recently and promises to be an exciting future focus for our field. Participants will learn the principles of polyvagal theory, how it affects human development, and ways to apply this understanding to work in developmental disabilities.
Guest Speaker:
Sean Inderbitzen, LCSW is a clinician who works with people on the autism spectrum utilizing the principles of the polyvagal theory. He lectures and consults on autism for such entities as the U.S. state of Oklahoma Substance Abuse and Mental Health Administration, and Mayo Clinic Health System Northland.
