Welcome, We’ve gathered a few resources we hope you will find helpful to support you in your work with students!
This site is organized into four pages: Simulations, Self-Regulation Strategies, Data Training and Support, and Executive Functioning. On the simulations and self-regulation strategies pages, you will find resources to implement the simulations and teach self-regulation skills that can help us build calm, welcoming, and well-regulated classrooms. On the data training and support page you will find concrete and practical tools to help you graph student data. Finally, we are just starting to share a few resources on our executive functioning page.
Our hope is that you can share these experiences and resources with others, engage in reflection and conversation around the challenges and supports needed, and expand your school's ability to include all students in the general education classroom!
Build empathy and thoughtfulness around including students with disabilities in all settings. These disability simulations help educators experience just a few minutes in the shoes of their students who struggle with a variety of challenges. They're perfect for a monthly activity to kick off a staff meeting and remind us why we work hard to make inclusion a reality for all kids.
