The EQ Advantage Course

Want to Feel More Confident When Emotions Take Over?

Are challenging behaviors and emotional meltdowns getting in the way of therapy progress?

Understanding emotional dysregulation is one thing. Knowing what to do in the moment is another.

The EQ Advantage was created for pediatric therapists who want practical, evidence-based strategies for helping children build emotional regulation, resilience, empathy, and lifelong emotional intelligence.

Inside the course, you’ll learn how to recognize the arc of dysregulation, use co-regulation and emotion coaching strategies, strengthen your own clinical EQ, and apply practical tools to real pediatric cases.

Jessica presented an incredibly well-organized training on Emotional Intelligence that provided our OT/PT team with invaluable, research-backed insights.  She’s a dynamic and engaging speaker and paired excellent visuals and printable resources with actionable strategies we could immediately use with our students.  Each module built perfectly upon the last, and our staff repeatedly shared how relevant the information was to our practice.  I highly recommend this training for all school professionals – including teachers, therapists, and paraeducators – looking to better engage their most challenging students!
