ZONES OF REGULATION
The Zones of Regulation Program was created by Occupational Therapist Leah Kuypers to teach children to identify how they are feeling and strategies to help them self-regulate. Check out this video to learn more about the Zones.

As academic demands continue to increase based on standardized testing regulations, children are required to do more at younger ages. The Zones curriculum has become a powerful tool to help children meet these raised expectations. In an effort to promote the use of the Zones throughout the schools, Zones bulletin boards were created in January at Foster and Plymouth River Schools. Each school has a board identifying the Zones and a board identifying tools to adjust and/or maintain a zone (see pictures below). The Toolbox boards will highlight a different tool each month. I encourage you to ask your child what the "Tool of the Month" is and try it at home!
