What is the Zones of Regulation?
The Zones of Regulation is a curriculum that supports students with "keeping it together...while falling apart."

Sometimes our struggles have to do with a task that is overwhelming and other times we could be having trouble with relationships. These situations happen at school every day so it is crucial that children have the tools available to them to help keep calm in stressful situations.
