In our changing digital world, social media offers both connectivity and risks for youth and their mental health. While social media can offer opportunities to connect with others and act as a medium for self-expression; significant concerns with cyberbullying, exposure to harmful content, and an increase in mental health issues have emerged. Through thoughtful planning and open dialogue, parents and educators can mitigate such risks and offer practical tips to embrace responsible social media use. As society grapples with digital challenges, collaboration between home and school pave the way for responsible social media use and mental well-being.

The prevalence of Autism Spectrum Disorder is currently 1 in 36 school-age children in the United States. Yet, the breadth of the spectrum is so broad and heterogeneous that it becomes perplexing as to how some individuals who are profoundly affected can carry the same diagnostic label as those with more subtle symptom expression. This workshop will help clinicians better understand the variability across the autism spectrum based symptom expression, levels of cognition and language, sex differences, emotional/behavioral regulation, and racial/ethnic differences. How to identify and differentiate the common co-occurring conditions will also be discussed.

This one-hour webinar will introduce ways to teach your students how to use two proven healthy behavior routines — Manage it! and Give + Get it! — using an evidence-based, small-group instructional format. The SSIS™ CIP-T2, a Tier 2 social-emotional health intervention that is now part of Review360®, will be used to demonstrate these concepts, and a proven strategy for teaching healthy behavior routines will be shared.

Increasingly, ADHD has been recognized as an impairment of the brain’s executive functions. Research has demonstrated that for more than half of adolescents and adults with ADHD their functioning is complicated by one or more additional psychiatric disorders. This webinar will describe various types of comorbid disorders often associated with ADHD and will include ways psychologists can take comorbid disorders into account in assessment and treatment of clients with ADHD.

In this session, two Review360^® SEL case studies, one for an entire Tier 1 classroom of students and the other for an individual student who needs Tier 2 support, will be presented to illustrate the use of the assessment results to drive intervention designs, evaluate intervention progress, and to evaluate overall results for Tier 1 and Tier 2 CIP.

School professionals are on the front line of addressing the current mental health crisis among children and adolescents. In this webinar, we will demonstrate the process of identifying and addressing emotional, behavioral, and mental health concerns through screening, assessments, interventions, and progress monitoring.  

This webinar will detail how to use the SSIS™ SEL Rating Forms and the SSIS SEL Brief Scales to identify your students’ SEL skills strengths and weaknesses when developing intervention plans. Progress monitoring within the Review360 platform will also be discussed.

The question of whether true adaptive behavior profiles in persons with autism spectrum disorder exists has been discussed in the literature for decades. This webinar will explore if, and how, adaptive functioning profiles of individuals with ASD differ from typical normative samples.
