“How Does Your Engine Run?®” A Leader’s Guide to the Alert Program® for Self-Regulation

$40.00

The Leader’s Guide provides the foundation for beginning to learn how to implement the Alert Program®: it explains the theory, along with step-by-step instructions and easy-to-implement activities. It was written to teach children how to identify and change how alert they feel, initially using the analogy of an engine. If a child is non-verbal or has special interests (such as a love of dinosaurs), instead of using the engine analogy, the program can be customized and easily adapted.

With its three stages and 12 Mile Marker steps, this evidence-based practice approach is ideal for those who have attention problems, autism, developmental delays, and/or other learning challenges.

The Alert Program® consists of a series of lessons and activities, that have proven to be highly effective. The program has been adapted successfully for preschool through high school students and for adults.

Since the time that book was published, so many new ways of adapting and using the information have been developed. All of this new information is available in the Alert Program® Online Course for you to build upon the foundation of these basic activities.

Description

The Leader’s Guide is a gold mine of basic information for use in school, clinic, or home settings. It will provide what you need to introduce the concepts of self-regulation with confidence, including:

  • Overview of the underlying theory and concepts of sensory integration and self-regulation.
  • Unique methods to teach other adults (teachers, parents, etc.) about the Alert Program® and the importance of self-regulation.
  • Twelve detailed steps to teach independent self-regulation.
  • Lots of low-budget activity ideas.
  • Personal stories that clearly illustrate the program.
  • All worksheets, charts, and pictures needed for the program (permission to copy Appendix pages is included).

The Leader’s Guide is intended for individuals who are familiar with sensory processing techniques. Those who are unfamiliar with this theory can implement the program with consultation from an occupational therapist trained in sensory processing. We recommend those not familiar with self-regulation concepts to begin by reading the Introductory Booklet and Take Five! book.

Or take the Alert Program® Online Course which includes the most up-to-date best practices in our profession (the Leader’s Guide is included in the price of the course).
