The Zones of Regulation

​The ZONES of Regulation

A concept to foster self-regulation and emotional control
​created by Leah Kuypers, MA Ed., OTR/L ​

Zones of Regulation is a school wide initiative to promote emotional wellness.  Consistent use of language and visuals of the 4 "zones" across school settings helps children understand and accept the many things they may feel, while providing age appropriate tools to describe them.  The goal is to empower children to manage their emotions by building skills in awareness and regulation.  Resources on this page are available for you to learn more about the ZONES of Regulation program and how you can use it at home with your child!
