In The Zones of Regulation Comprehensive Training participants will take a deeper dive into the competency of regulation and how it fits into a climate and culture of social emotional learning. This training builds off of the Basic Training webinar to offer a more in-depth look into the neurological components, development of regulation, and compassionate mindset as the foundation to understanding and teaching The Zones of Regulation. Whether you are new to The Zones or are a seasoned practitioner, this training will provide you with a thorough understanding of the lessons and concepts within The Zones curriculum. Extensive exploration of regulation tools and strategies will help you teach The Zones of Regulation with fidelity and efficacy. In addition to highlighting the most recent innovations of The Zones framework, this webinar includes student work samples, classroom artifacts, and videos. It explores strategies for adapting and differentiating The Zones to help all learners, both neurodivergent and neurotypical, meet their goals across school, home, and community settings. Participants will walk away with an in-depth understanding of regulation and how The Zones makes this competency easily accessible for both teachers/practitioners and learners alike.
The Story Behind The Zones of Regulation
While working as an occupational therapist and autism resource specialist in public schools, I was struck by how often students’ challenges in regulation skills impacted their academic and social participation, as well as their sense of well-being. I worked with learners to address sensory regulation differences, however, their emotional regulation, social cognition, executive functioning, and impulse control continued to stand in the way of their successes.
The solution was clear to me. Learners of all ages needed to be taught regulation competencies aligned to their developmental continuum and be given the opportunities to practice the skills in a safe and supportive environment. I developed an approach to address regulation in a systematic and pragmatic way. I named this approach “The Zones of Regulation.” The curriculum was first written as a capstone and went on to be published in 2011 by Think Social Publishing, Inc., selling over 300,000 copies worldwide. In 2024 I published The Zones of Regulation (R) Digital Curriculum, which represents the evolution and next phase of my life’s work.
Thank you for being part of our Zones Community!
