Emotional Regulation Activities for Students with Deaf-Blindness
Emotional regulation looks different when a person cannot rely on sight or sound. This practical guidebook explains how deaf-blindness affects emotional experience and builds sensory, body-based and communication-based strategies around touch, movement, smell and vibration.
What's Inside
- Deaf-blindness and emotional life
- Foundations of regulation: the window of tolerance and the nervous system

- Fourteen regulation activities: sensory, body-based and rhythmic, including texture boxes, weighted protocols and drum circles with vibration
- Communication and connection: emotional check-ins with object symbols
- Routines and plans: daily regulation routines, individual regulation plans and a regulation response protocol
- Families and teams: including self-care for support people
- Four appendix tools: Individual Regulation Plan, daily observation log, sensory profile worksheet and quick reference card
