The Self-Regulated Student
Classrooms are full of individual needs, most of which include students who are not regulated for a variety of reasons. From students who have a hard time sitting still and focusing, to anxieties and other emotional dysregulation. Let’s give their bodies what they need so they can access calm, safety and focus. The Self-Regulated Student focuses on specific movements and exercises, from an occupational therapy standpoint, that help to calm the nervous system, allowing students to access their full potential.

Michael gets ready for bed, including putting on his favourite pair of pyjamas, but he can’t fall asleep because it’s too hot in his room. His mom gives him different suggestions to try to cool down but he has his own idea of what could help. Uh oh!
