Click here to download the Zones of Regulation Workshop handouts.

Those with self-regulation difficulties lack the innate ability to control their emotions in order to think through and succeed in everyday situations. For individuals with these challenges, emotional or self-regulation must be learned and practiced. 

The lessons and learning activities within the Zones of Regulation curriculum, designed by Leah Kuypers, M. A. Ed., OTR/L, give practical ideas that can be easily incorporated into the classroom or home.

Aligned with MN ASD Standards for Licensure: A3, A4, A5, B2, B3, B5, C4, C6, C10 

Workshop Learning Objectives

  • Identify sensory processing systems, integration and its impact on modulation.
  • Outline executive functions that frequently impact self-regulation.
  • Define emotional regulation.
  • Develop insight into a systematic way to teach students to self-regulate. 
  • Cite strategies to identify one’s level of alertness and emotions and describe how social and contextual cues are used to decipher expected behavior.
  • Demonstrate strategies to adjust one’s level of alertness/emotions to match the environment’s demands. 
  • Understand ways to integrate The Zones into practice and generalize skills across settings.
