Emotional self-regulation or emotion regulation is the ability to respond to the ongoing demands of experience with the range of emotions in a manner that is socially tolerable and sufficiently flexible to permit spontaneous reactions as well as the ability to delay spontaneous reactions as needed.

We work with individuals to understand and explore their bodies and emotions. Whilst developing strategies to assist individuals in regulating these emotions using evidence based, person centred strategies. This may include interoception skills and learning in some cases.

Social skills are the skills we use everyday to interact and communicate with others. They include verbal and non-verbal communication, such as speech, gesture, facial expression and body language. Relationship skills are the ability for individuals to build positive relationships, especially with diverse individuals and groups, using a variety of methods such as active listening, communication and conflict resolution skills. These skills also include the ability to resist pressure and to seek out and offer help.

We work with individuals to build their confidence in being able to recognise cues and how to respond to these in many different social settings throughout their lives. This can be by using different methods of communication.

This curriculum builds functioning skills in the following areas; Planning, Time Management, Task Initiation, Organisation, Problem Solving, Flexibility, Working Memory, Emotional Control, Impulse Control, Attentional Control and Self Monitoring.
