Promoting Regulation For All Students
Presented by Tere Bowen-Irish, OTR/L
Live WebinarThu, Aug 27, 2026 at 3:00 pm EDT
Course: #7078Level: Intermediate1 Hour
Self-regulation is an essential ability to navigating daily life, shifting, adjusting, and flowing. In the context of school-based intervention, we often address those students who are "over the top". But what about the other 95%? A therapist may often pick up subtle dysregulation cues that can escalate into behaviors that don't aid classroom access. This seminar is about foundational abilities, based on development and sometimes diagnosis, that may upset the flow of the classroom. Let's look at the unique consultative, point-of-performance, and classroom management ideas we can offer in a Tier 1 or Tier 2 approach. This course is for an interdisciplinary audience.

This course takes a deeper dive into the practical skills school-based OTPs need to function confidently on educational teams. Participants will examine present levels, educational impact, IEP goal writing, service recommendations, data collection, progress monitoring, and collaborative decision-making. Emphasis is placed on writing participation-focused goals, aligning OT services with classroom routines, collaborating with teachers and related service providers, and communicating OT’s value clearly to administrators and families. Recent research supports stronger OT–teacher collaboration, embedded service models, and collaborative goal development rather than isolated discipline-specific practice.
