Impulse Inspector Lesson Plan
By the end of the session, Ethan will identify and verbalize at least 6 internal cues signaling an impending impulsive reaction before responding, using pre-taught pausing strategies across 9 trials by 01/16/2026.
Building awareness of internal signals empowers Ethan to pause and choose adaptive responses, reducing impulsive behaviors and supporting social-emotional growth.
