Self-Regulation Interventions and Strategies: Keeping the Body, Mind and Emotions on Task in Children with Autism, ADHD or Sensory Disorders

Optimize classroom inclusivity and enhance socio-emotional stability with Self-Regulation Interventions and Strategies, an authoritative clinical and educational handbook written by occupational therapist Teresa Garland. This highly scannable manual delivers a vital toolkit of evidence-based interventions designed to help neurodivergent children—including those with Autism, ADHD, and Sensory Processing Disorders—maintain focus, manage emotional volatility, and combat sensory overload. The text outlines actionable strategies such as sensory diets, mindful breathing exercises, environmental adjustments, and behavioral anchoring techniques that keep the mind and body on task. By employing a cross-disciplinary pedagogical blueprint that merges pediatric occupational therapy, neurobiology, special education, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), this textbook serves as an indispensable enrichment guide, behavior-management plan, and intervention reference for school counselors, special education instructors, general teachers, therapists, and parents.
