Our Self-Regulation Tools help children understand what is happening inside their bodies, identify what supports they need, and use strategies to feel calmer, safer and more in control. Many neurodivergent learners — including autistic and ADHD children, selectively mute children, and kids who experience sensory overwhelm or anxiety — benefit from visual supports that make regulation more concrete and less overwhelming.
Self-regulation doesn’t mean “being good” or “controlling behavior.” It is about recognizing internal signals, reducing stress and sensory overload, and helping the nervous system return to a more comfortable state. These tools promote co-regulation, emotional safety, and autonomy, allowing children to choose strategies that work for them.
This collection may include:
✔ calming & coping strategy cards
✔ breathing & grounding visuals
✔ sensory and movement strategy cards
✔ break cards & calm corner supports
✔ regulation posters & cue cards
✔ shutdown & overload support tools
✔ “what helps me” worksheets
✔ co-regulation guides for adults
✔ transition & countdown supports
Perfect for use in:
- classrooms & SEN/SPED settings
- home & homeschool environments
- OT, SLP & mental health therapy
- SEL and social skills groups
- autism & ADHD support settings
All resources are neurodiversity-affirming and focus on meeting the child’s body and nervous system where they are — without shame, compliance-based expectations, or “behavior charts.” These tools support children in discovering what helps them regulate, communicate their needs, and participate more comfortably in everyday environments.
