Seven and eight year olds who need help with regulating their actions and controlling their emotions will benefit from the Zones of Regulation Group scheduled for 8 Wednesday afternoons from 5-6pm beginning April 22 through June 10 at Pediatric Therapeutics.
Occupational Therapists Missy Briody and Liz Duffy bring their expertise with self-regulation challenges and their experience with the Zones of Regulation curriculum to the weekly group. Zones of Regulation is a cognitive, behavioral approach developed by Leah Kuypers, OT to teach children how to self-regulate their sensory needs and their emotions and impulses in order to meet the demands of the environment and experience academic & social success.
The group meetings include activity and discussion, with regular home programming. Participants will benefit most if they are verbal. Contact either Missy (missy.briody@pediatrictherapeutics.org) or Liz (elizabeth.duffy@pediatrictherapeutics.org) to consider this group for your child.
