The Zones of Regulation (or Zones, for short) is a framework for thinking, as well as a curriculum geared toward helping students gain skills in consciously regulating their behaviors. This in turn leads to increased self-control and problem-solving abilities. The Zones assists students in conceptualizing how they are feeling by creating a system to categorize their emotions and levels of alertness into one of four zones. It can be used and taught to students as young as preschool age (around 4 years old if cognitively they are at or above average intellect), elementary and secondary students, and even adults.
The Zones curriculum can be taught in schools as well as in private clinics. When implemented as part of a school-based intervention, the Zones supports the mandate for mental health prevention and early intervention services for all children. It is consistent with the principles of Social Emotional Learning in that it helps children recognize and manage their emotions and develop caring and concern for others (American Occupational Therapy Association, 2008). Occupational therapists can use the Zones to provide support for social emotional well-being and prevent problem behaviors, in collaboration with school personnel and parents. The ultimate goal is to develop skills and abilities that endure into adulthood.
The Zones learning activities target executive functions, including internalization of speech, flexible thinking, and inhibition. Using a cognitive behavior approach, the curriculum's learning activities are designed to help students recognize when they are in different zones, with each represented by a different color. The simplicity of the Zones helps students communicate how they are feeling in a safe, non-judgmental way.
* The Red Zone is used to describe extremely heightened states of alertness and intense emotions. A person may be elated or experiencing anger, rage, explosive behavior, devastation, or terror when in the Red Zone. A person may be described as "out of control" if in the Red Zone.
* The Yellow Zone is also used to describe a heightened state of alertness and elevated emotions; however, one has some control in the Yellow Zone. A person may be experiencing stress, frustration, anxiety, excitement, silliness, the wiggles, or nervousness when in the Yellow Zone.
* The Green Zone is used to describe a calm state.
