My Engine and Me: Visual Supports for the Alert Program
Support children to build self-awareness, interoception, and self-advocacy with this neuroaffirming approach to the Alert Program. This resource pack includes a child-friendly speedometer, visual supports, and a social story designed to help children understand their engine speeds and recognise the body clues associated with slow, just right, and fast states.
Using a simple traffic light framework--Stop, Think, Go—children learn to notice their body signals, reflect on what their bodies may need, and choose supportive strategies that work for them. Rather than focusing on behaviour management, this resource promotes self-understanding, autonomy, and participation.
Perfect for occupational therapists, educators, and families supporting children to develop regulation skills through a strengths-based, neuroaffirming lens.
