Zones of Regulation
Self regulation for students
What is the Zones of Regulation?
The Zones is a systematic, cognitive behavior approach used to teach self-regulation by categorizing all the different ways we feel and states of alertness we experience into four concrete zones. The Zones curriculum provides strategies to teach students to become more aware of, and independent in controlling their emotions and impulses, managing their sensory needs, and improving their ability to problem solve conflicts.
Who is the Zones for?
Zones of Regulation can be used with individuals, small groups or even a classroom that is struggling with self regulation or behavior. It is easy and makes sense for students! It helps them identify their feelings, triggers, and calming strategies to use when in each of the Zones.
Here are some of the tools we use...
