Emotional Regulation Tools Poster | Body, Mind, Sensory and Social Tools
This emotional regulation tools poster helps students stay calm, focused, and ready to learn by showing five types of tools. It is an illustrated self-regulation poster for kids, calm corners, and special education classrooms.
What's on the Poster
- Body Tools: deep belly breaths, stretching, wall push-ups and chair push-downs, squishy fidget ball, movement break
- Mind Tools: counting slowly on fingers, "I can do this! I am calm," visualizing, guided breathing
- Sensory Tools: noise-canceling headphones, cozy calm corner, weighted lap pad, kinetic sand, soft lighting
- Social Tools: "May I have a break, please?", ask a teacher for help, speech card, working quietly with a partner
- Environmental Tools: quieter area, preferred beanbag seat, clean desk, personal schedule, predictable routine
How It Helps
- Shows that regulation can come from the body, mind, senses, people, and surroundings.
- Illustrated examples make each tool easy to recognize.
- Reminds adults that regulation is a skill taught and practiced daily.
Ways to Use It
Hang it in a calm down corner, beside the classroom door, or in a resource room or counseling office so it is in view when students need it. It also works as a visual support written into IEP or BIP plans, and as a reference at home.
Who It's For
Special education teachers, general education teachers, school counselors, therapists, and parents supporting children who need help managing emotions, including autistic students and students with ADHD.
