Calm Down Self Regulation Strategies ( The Dinosaur Brain, SEL learning)

As an autistic person, my brain often got fired up by being asked something simple I didn't want to do. At calm, your brain is green but then a signal warns you and turns you to yellow, soon you can't control yourself and your brain is a raging red. Now what do you do? My therapist taught me this technique that worked every time. Learn how to self-regulate by recognizing the warning signs and then do BITS ( breathe, imagine, time and self-talk ) Included with the video are posters with the dinosaur brain and the BITS calm down strategy for visuals for students to remember what they learned.

I made this fun and educational video to help others use the technique that made a huge difference in my life. Everyone can benefit from this strategy and this video makes it easy to learn. A great SEL tool for all schools.
