The Arc of Illinois

The Arc of Illinois is a state chapter of The Arc

of the United States. The Arc of Illinois is committed to empowering persons

with disabilities to achieve full participation in community life through

informed choices.

Leaders in The Arc:

You will want to attend this seminar. Jed is an

excellent presenter and you will learn and enjoy this day with him.

" No More Meltdowns, " many individuals with

developmental disabilities have meltdowns when they lose control and seem immune

to reasoning. Having consistent rules and consequences for such behavior is

important, yet there are times when such traditional discipline seems

ineffective. When consistent discipline is not enough, we need to understand why

these difficult moments continue. This presentation is designed to: 1. Help

caretakers manage their own emotions so they can help their clients manage

theirs, 2. Learn ways to de-escalate a meltdown in the moment, and 3. Understand

how to create an effective plan to prevent future meltdowns. For more

information and registration details, please see attached brochure!
