New App! Zones of Regulation App!

Recently updated, Zones of Regulation app for iPhone and iPad (4.99) and Zones of Regulation app for Android is a self-regulation game based on the curriculum “Zones of Regulation” created by Leah Kuypers, OTR. Her curriculum uses a cognitive approach to social thinking with regulation of alert level and emotions included.

Geared to primary, middle and high school students, it also is appropriate for adults. Leah Kupyers also has a book, Zones of Regulation – A Curriculum Designed to Foster Self-Regulation and Emotional Control”.

Have you or your students played the app?

Now, there is a mobile App to use to continue to reinforce skills learned!

The app was released last week and has an unbelievable price point of $4.99…
