A 4-Week Course for Parents & Children
About this Event

Join AuDHD educator-scholar Calvin Eaton, M.S., for a play-based, body-centered course designed to help families build practical self-regulation skills at home.

This course draws on social-emotional learning (SEL), occupational therapy-informed strategies, and widely used regulation frameworks found in schools and therapeutic settings. You will leave with tools you can use immediately.


Dates, Time & Location

This is a hybrid course, meaning it’s held in-person and virtually:

Irondequoit Public Library | 5:00 to 7:00 PM

What You Will Learn
  • Practical SEL strategies that support emotional regulation and behavior
  • Tools to reduce daily struggles at home and school
  • Language and techniques to better understand your child’s needs
  • Strategies to advocate effectively for your child in school and other settings

Course Structure

Weeks 1–2 (In Person — Adults & Children)
Children engage in guided, hands-on regulation activities while parents observe in real time.

Each session includes:

  • Live modeling of regulation strategies
  • Structured, play-based activities for children
  • Dedicated time for parent discussion and questions

The goal is for parents to see, experience, and practice these strategies so they can confidently use them at home.

Weeks 3–4 (Zoom — Adults Only)
Parents meet in a small group setting to reflect, troubleshoot, and deepen implementation.

Each week includes:

Sharing one strategy you tried at home

Discussion of what worked and what felt challenging

Coaching and problem-solving based on real family experiences


Objectives

This course is designed to help families:

  • Build practical, neurodivergent-affirming regulation strategies
  • Apply those strategies consistently in daily life
  • Feel more confident supporting their child’s emotional needs

Admission (Gift Economy Model)

This course operates on a gift economy model.

My work is rooted in relationships, trust, and the belief that education should be accessible while still honoring the real cost of creating and facilitating meaningful experiences.

Instead of a fixed fee, you are invited to choose the amount that feels right for you based on:

  • Your financial situation
  • The value of the experience for your family
  • Your desire to support this work for others

This model allows broader access while sustaining future programming.
