Regulation

Regulation is a child's ability to manage their emotions, behaviour and responses to the world. When children aren't well regulated, it impacts learning, play and development. I aim to support children with neurodevelopmental and learning differences, including those with more complex presentations, to feel confident, understood and capable. I am currently completing my certification in DIR Floortime.

We can help with

Emotional regulation
Sensory regulation
Managing challenging behaviours
Attention and an appropriate level of alertness
