9-Week Self-Regulation Program

Our comprehensive 9-week program is designed to help your child develop essential self-regulation skills. The program is structured into three distinct stages, ensuring that each aspect of self-regulation is thoroughly covered.

Stage 1: Understanding Self-Regulation (3 sessions)

In the first stage, your child will learn the meaning of self-regulation, its importance, and how to recognize and describe it. This stage focuses on building a foundational understanding of self-regulation, its appearance, sensations, and associated language.

Stage 2: Experimenting with Arousal States (3 sessions)

During the second stage, your child will explore various methods to change their arousal states and become more aware of their physiological cues. Caregivers will learn how to support and cue them towards their sensorimotor preferences. Experimentation of different strategies are used to build experiential understanding.

Stage 3: Regulating Arousal States (3 sessions)

In the final stage, your child will learn to choose strategies independently and with assistance to effectively regulate their arousal states within and outside the program.
