Sensory & Emotional Regulation 2: An introduction to emotion regulation

· CPD points & talks · Psychologists

In this second session of the Sensory & Emotional Regulation series, renowned occupational therapist Maude Le Roux explores the critical domain of emotional regulation - an area frequently misunderstood in both clinical and educational contexts. Emotional outbursts, shut-downs, or “defiant” behaviours are often misinterpreted or pathologised, rather than seen as signals of a child's inner struggle with self-regulation.

Through a developmental and neurophysiological lens, this talk highlights how emotional regulation challenges often reflect unmet needs rather than disobedience or defiance. Maude offers practical, research-informed strategies that professionals and parents can implement to support the child’s growing capacity for emotional self-regulation. The talk draws on current occupational therapy literature and integrates real-world case perspectives to illuminate the intersection between sensory modulation and emotional control.

This course is essential for psychologists, allied health professionals, educators, and parents working with children who experience difficulty regulating their emotions and behaviour.

This is the second talk in a four-part series
