Emotional Regulation
Both of these emotional management resources provide visuals, which make them a great fit for individuals on the spectrum. What's the difference between the two?
The five point scale is recommended for students who frequently escalate. The child can utilize this scale to show levels of escalation given different situations, learn to do a self "body check" in relation, as well as have a direct plan laid out for what to do when they reach a targeted level. You can be creative and use the five point scale for a variety of behaviors and situations in which a scale is needed. Check out the author Kari Dunn Buron's website and resources by clicking below.
Zones of Regulation created by Leah Kypurs is a more basic program for learning about emotions and self management (as compared to the 5 point scale). In this program our emotions fall into one of four categories: yellow, blue, green, or red. Students learn what each of those zones looks like and feels like, as well as what strategies to use when in that zone. The Zones of Regulation can be accessed by clicking on the button below and is full of resources. Resources include free downloads, webinars, trainings, and articles.
