Zones of Regulation
Product ID: 59619631
The Zones of Regulation is a curriculum geared toward helping students gain skills in consciously regulating their actions, which in turn leads to increased control and problem solving abilities. Using a cognitive behavior approach, the curriculum's learning activities are designed to help students recognize when they are in different states called "zones," with each of four zones represented by a different color. In the activities, students also learn how to use strategies or tools to stay in a zone or move from one to another. Students explore calming techniques, cognitive strategies, and sensory supports so they will have a toolbox of methods to use to move between zones. To deepen students' understanding of how to self-regulate, the lessons set out to teach students these skills: how to read others' facial expressions and recognize a broader range of emotions, perspective about how others see and react to their behavior, insight into events that trigger their less regulated states, and when and how to use tools and problem solving skills. The curriculum's learning activities are presented in 18 lessons. To reinforce the concepts being taught, each lesson includes probing questions to discuss and instructions for one or more learning activities. Many lessons offer extension activities and ways to adapt the activity for individual student needs. The curriculum also includes worksheets, other handouts, and visuals to display and share. These can be photocopied from this book or printed from the accompanying USB. The curriculum is designed to be taught by anyone who works with students who struggle with self-regulation. This can include special education and regular education teachers, occupational therapists, speech and language pathologists, psychologists, counselors, behaviorists, social workers, and parents. Throughout the text, the user is referred to as "teacher"; however, this does not mean you need to be a classroom teacher to teach the lessons. Review: Great for work in school and clinician settings - While I am not an OT, I truly love being able to support children who come for outpatient therapy with this treatment. It is a very flexible manual where you can use specific parts or go through the whole manual to support children with autism. I usually use this treatment with children on the spectrum that are verbal and able to talk about concepts and reflect on ideas and examples given. It's a really great way to think about feelings and how they lead to actions that might affect others. A must have for clinicians working with school age children, wether that be in outpatient settings or in school. Review: This is the best book on regulations that I have ever seen!!! - This book makes it easy to teach and my son looks forward to our discussions every night!! As a parent I find it uses common sense approaches to teaching a person how to get in touch with their feelings, that the feelings are valid, then what to do with those feelings so that you don't loose control. The zones make sense and it teaches life skills. You can use it with elementary school age kids up to high school. An awesome aspect to this is that there is an APP that your child can play that goes along with the lessons. How great is this!! It solidifies everything. I have seen incredible growth in my son using the lessons in this book!!

Excellent self-regulation resource can assist children, therapists, teachers, and parents
In her book, The Zones of Regulation, the author, Leah M. Kuypers, explains why kids with self-regulation difficulties can benefit from targeted Sensory Integration strategies. The author provides a clear and accessible child-friendly color-coded system for adults and children to use when they collaborate for implementing the recommended strategies. In the book, Ms. Kuyper also includes many related helpful tools and resources. As a licensed pediatric occupational therapist with a specialty in Sensory Integration, I highly recommend this book!

BUY THIS. Don't walk, RUN!
Wow.wow.wow.wow. WOW. Ok now that I'm done saying wow, this book is just amazingly fantastic. It gave me a way to help my ten year old severely adhd son a way to create an internal structure inside of himself to regulate his behavior. He has made so much progress purchasing this it was well worth the money. A great companion to this is How Does Your Engine Run? It offers a bit more depth and this was loosely based upon it but I will say this is much more user friendly. The charts and hands on practical things included in this book are extremely helpful. I also have adhd and remember being young without that internal structure to guide me. Just like anything I've used its not a cure all or fix all, nothing is. But it has been a huge tool and part of his behavioral therapy. I'm so thankful for this!

Get this one! Totally worth it!
This is the best curriculum for self-regulation and coping skills that I know of! It combines the best parts of the five point scale and social behavior mapping (which are each referenced in their own chapters, where you could also insert parts of each of those strategies as needed) in its scope as well. The lessons can be modified to fit lower-functioning individuals fairly easily in my experience - just be ready to let each lesson take as many repetitions (and personalizations) and as much time as necessary and you are set!

Great emotional toolbox system
I purchased this system hoping to help my child learn cues and coping strategies in different emotional states. The book first covers the history and explanation of the system and the rest of the book is a syllabus for teaching it to a group or in a classroom setting, complete with worksheets and handouts. However, this system can easily be adapted for home. Because of this structure, it makes it more manageable versus other behavioral/social emotional resources with instruction that can be vague. If your child is a visual learner and likes following a schedule, then this is very helpful in introducing and learning the concepts as well as the obvious visuals of the Zones that they can refer to or be prompted with in understanding their emotional state.

A Must Have in a Special Education Classroom...
Great book to use to help your students get in touch with their feeling especially, in a special education classroom. Prior to the introduction of this book; I had my students watch the movie "Inside Out" which helped them to understand their feelings and emotions. Also, the book has a couple of extra lessons within lessons.

Great tool for parents, teachers, and therapists
Bought this for a peds therapy clinic. Love that all the handouts are in a USB now instead of a CD!!! Super helpful and useful. This curriculum is great for kiddos that need help with self-awareness of emotions and self regulation.
