(Alert/Zones of Regulation)

The Alert Program uses the analogy of a car engine to introduce
the concepts of self-regulation, a key component in focus, attention,
concentration and therefore learning. “If your body is like a car engine,
sometimes it runs on high, sometimes it runs on low and sometimes it runs just
right.” Parents and students will increase their awareness of levels of
“alertness” in themselves & others. They will also learn sensorimotor
strategies or “engine tools” to adjust their engine speed.
