ויסות The Zones of Regulation

This is based on the work of Leah Kuypers, The Zones of Regulation. Our children on the spectrum, or truly, all of us, need to be emotionally and sensorily regulated, if we are to function rationally and effectively. We have a session schedule that the kids get used to and love. It begins with "vissut" ויסות

Regulation. We all check where we're at. Tired and sludgy, in the blue area? We need a few jumping jacks, a few jokes, maybe a tickle. We need to get to the green, alert, interested, just right place. Overexcited, edgy, agitated, in the red zone? Maybe a little yoga, a calming song. Each of us has made a slide show of the things that bring us to our ideal zone of regulation, our green.
