Desk Hideout

Introduces the difference between shutting down (hiding under desks, ripping paper) and using the Stoplight signaling system. Establishes the Stoplight Club for Grades K-2.

Stoplight Colors

Teaches the three levels of the Stoplight card (Green, Yellow, Red) and how they map to our feelings and needs (doing fine, getting stuck, needing a break) for Grades K-2.

The Signal Tap

Introduces the verbal script options: 'Help, please' and 'Break, please', combined with a physical touch or flip of the Stoplight card for Grades K-2.

The Calm Count

Combines signaling with patient waiting by introducing the count-to-10 coping skill while waiting for the teacher to arrive and help for Grades K-2.

Handling the No

Teaches emotional regulation and visual strategies for coping when a teacher says 'no' or 'not yet' to a break request, or when help is delayed for Grades K-2.

Eyes and Voice

Refines communication skills by training students to make eye contact and use a calm, quiet voice when pairing a Stoplight card tap with a verbal script for Grades K-2.

All Day Practice

Focuses on generalizing the replacement behavior to other school settings like recess, the cafeteria, and the art room using visual tracker guides for Grades K-2.
