"By using the Zones of Regulation with students across my building, we have seen a consistent drop in student referrals to the office and for speech/ language services. It has increased their mindfulness and social awareness. We have even seen academic scores increase." - School Administrator
Steps for getting started with implementation

STEP 1 - PURCHASE THE ZONES OF REGULATION BOOK
The Zones of Regulation (Kuypers, 2011) curriculum book is essential for implementing The Zones framework. We recommend one curriculum book for each person facilitating instruction, with a minimum of one book per instructional team (such as a grade-level team) if you are implementing schoolwide. The book can be purchased through Social Thinking, the publisher, along with other Zones supplemental resources.
STEP 2 - ATTEND A TRAINING
The Zones of Regulation training is invaluable in establishing foundational knowledge of the framework and curriculum in order to implement with fidelity. Learn about our virtual trainings below. Visit our live webinar page for full details.
STEP 3 - DEVELOP A PLAN
Put together a team of Zones Leaders at your school (these are the ‘Champions’ that will lead implementation). Once you have your team, develop a plan for implementation. For more information, check out our guidelines for implementing.

"It has helped our staff in understanding the needs of our students. It helps build empathy instead of frustration with our more challenging students. The Zones also creates a conversation that is more hopeful and skill based instead of punishment based. I could go on and on..." - School Principal
