I'm looking for more information on the Zones of Regulation (link: http://www.zonesofregulation.com/the-book.html ), specifically if you have used this resource in your classrooms/schools and how successful have your students been with taking ownership of their strategies.

Much appreciated,

Wendy

This is new learning for me as I have heard of Zones of Regulation. :)

Your question has sent me on a quest. I am looking for more information about Zones of Regulation. Does anyone know if it has been successful with students with ODD?

It's been 5 years since this last post but I would love to know more. My school system uses it. I've covered a few lessons as a substitute teacher in my school and my autistic son have had wonderful success in his class, in OT and when I implement the program at home.

I'm a school social worker and I frequently use Zones of Regulation both with my students and helping teachers implement the zones in their classrooms. Attached is a simple Zones Regulating Tube craft (from an empty toilet paper roll), that each student can make, add a rubber band or hair band to slide up & down into which zone they are currently in.

OMG! This is cute! I will need to find some tubes for my kiddos. Dollar Tree, here I come!!! Thank you for sharing.

Danelle, I used empty toilet paper rolls (when school is in session, I've also asked custodial staff to save them for me). You can see in the pic the differences between crayon, marker, or colored pencils for coloring of Zone colors on the tubes, & Sharpie marker to write the feeling words. You can also color tubes with Zone colors, then write coping strategies for each Zone.

Nice!!
