The Zones of Regulation

The Zones of Regulation is a framework and easy-to-use curriculum for teaching regulation strategies for managing feelings and sensory needs to children, students, and clients ages 4+. Rooted in cognitive behavioral therapy, the framework uses four colors to help individuals identify how they are feeling in the moment given their energy, feelings, and level of alertness. By understanding how to read their bodies, detect triggers, think about the social context, and consider their reactions, individuals learn a system for how to increase their ability to regulate their feelings, manage their sensory needs, and become more self-aware and skillful problem solvers.

Mark, Parent of 8-year-old twin boys with Asperger’s Syndrome

Testimonial More students need to know their zones and how to manage their emotions— this curriculum is a great way to start!

Elizabeth C., Special Ed. Teacher

Testimonial The Zones of Regulation® provides a clear road map of thoughtfully designed lessons to help educators empower students to develop self-regulatory abilities—abilities that research demonstrates will ensure success in life well beyond the classroom. Educators will find The Zones of Regulation to be a user-friendly and practical manual full of clear teaching strategies as well as concrete examples of appropriate self-regulatory strategies for their students.

Amy, Educational Consultant, Author

Testimonial The Zones of Regulation is built from a simple concept: Many children who are labeled as “bad” are really just kids who haven’t learned how to control their emotions in socially appropriate ways. The curriculum uses easy-to-understand terminology and cutting-edge tactics to teach the often-overlooked skill of self-regulation. It’s an important book not only for professionals who work with complex students but also for people who deal with children in any setting.

Terri R., Social Cognitive Specialist/Consultant

Testimonial The Zones of Regulation will cross disciplines and professional organizations to serve as a leading intervention tool that blends methodologies of Social Thinking®, sensory processing, and emotional intelligence. The Zones acknowledges the importance of generalization of concepts and builds a bridge between professionals, educators, and parents in the form of developmentally appropriate visuals and strategies that can be used across settings. Every child sitting in today’s classroom would benefit from The Zones.

Chris, Autism Consultant

Testimonial Leah's tools are great for my students, and myself, and I definitely have learned something I can incorporate to each Zone! I love the blending of the Zones of Regulation framework with Social Thinking to help my kiddos.
