Lesson Plan
Session 1 Plan
By session’s end, clinicians will complete a Sensory Profile Assessment Form and Regulation Baseline Checklist to identify each student’s sensory preferences and current self-regulation strategies.
Gathering a sensory profile and baseline regulation data builds self-awareness in students, informs personalized interventions, and sets measurable goals for future sessions.

Session 2 Plan
By session’s end, clinicians will guide students through three key calming strategies—deep breathing, tactile engagement, and movement breaks—helping them practice and rate each for self-regulation.
Introducing varied calming tools empowers students to manage sensory overwhelm, builds their self-regulation toolkit, and informs personalized regulation plans.
