We will help your child to label feelings, explore tools to regulate emotions, understand their zones of regulation, and explore their 8 senses. Individual sensory needs will be addressed. These include sensitivity to sounds, sensitivity to touch, and sensory seeking behaviors.

 

FOCUS:

  • Explore the 4 zones of regulation

  • Labeling our emotions

  • Learning how we can change our emotional zones

  • Experiment with sensory activities to increase calming and relaxation

  • Understanding how our senses impact our emotions

  • Learning flexibility during challenging times
