The Zones of Regulation
LEAH KUYPERS, OT
This presentation provides teachers, therapists and parents
with hands-on knowledge on the nature of self-regulation
and strategies for improving self-regulation and emotional
control in individuals of all ages. The presentation
addresses topics such as: the brain’s involvement, typical
development, sensory processing, emotional regulation, and
executive functioning. Audience participants will learn an
explicit, stair-stepped method and tools to guide individuals
in utilizing The Zones framework across situations and
environments to regulate sensory needs, impulses, and
emotional states to social demands. Visuals and student
work samples are highlighted to illustrate numerous
learning activities. A variety of tools (sensory supports,
calming techniques, and thinking strategies) are explored to
help individuals recognize their internal emotions, sensory
needs, and thinking patterns in each zone, when shifting
from one zone to another, and then to self-regulate within
zones. Participants explore ideas on how to teach, when,
why, and how to use tools effectively.
The Zones of Regulation presentation also incorporates core
concepts from Michelle Garcia Winner’s Social Thinking®
framework to help teach individuals about perspective

taking so they better understand how being in the different
zones impacts the thoughts and feelings of other people
around them.

Problem solving is a skill that we all need and a skill that
many of us take for granted. Most of us do not even
realize that we are scanning our surroundings, considering
all of our options, or moving on to the Plan B if Plan A
did not work. If you work with a high functioning
individual with ASD, this workshop is for you.
This presentation will offer ideas to help teachers,
counselors, service providers, and parents identify the
need for increased collaboration and teamwork to provide
a step-by-step framework for the development of problem
solving skills across all contexts, including home, school,
and community. Furthermore this presentation will
include topics such as how to correctly identify the root
cause of outward behavior and how to understand the role
of problem solving in the development of social skills and
the prevention of bullying and meltdowns. Because
executive functioning skills are involved in development
of problem solving skills, goals for development in this
area will be discussed as well.
