SMART Certification        

The SMART Certification Capstone event is designed for therapists who have achieved proficiency in applying the SMART model along the learning Pathway.  

In this event, participants engage in two 2-hour meetings to demonstrate their skills and knowledge through 1) case presentation, 2) written reflection activities, and 3) feedback to their fellow participants regarding cases. Emphasis is placed on the therapist’s ability to show and reflect on their treatment choices and the impact on the child’s functioning across the arc of a session and the arc of treatment. Using Video Reflection, participants are expected to provide examples of assessment and treatment of embodied Trauma Processing and  Attachment-Building and to conceptualize the role of Somatic Regulation when weaving threads in treatment across time.
