A 5-lesson sequence for Kindergarten students focusing on interoception and the procedural steps of requesting and returning from a break to support self-regulation.
A 5-lesson sequence for 9th-grade students focusing on the physiological and cognitive aspects of emotional escalation. Students learn to identify early warning signs in their bodies and minds to prevent crises through self-awareness and personalized monitoring protocols.
A 5-lesson sequence for 5th-grade students focused on co-regulation, non-verbal communication, and self-advocacy during dysregulation recovery. Students learn to leverage adult support to return to an emotional baseline.
