Zones of Regulation/YELLOW Zone

The Yellow Zone is where individuals experience heightened emotions such as frustration, anxiety, or excitement. It is a state of heightened alertness and arousal, signaling that emotions are starting to escalate. Strategies for the Yellow Zone focus on self-regulation and coping mechanisms to prevent a shift into the Red Zone.

• Some strategies for the Yellow Zone include:
• Taking a sensory break
• Using coping tools like fidget toys or stress balls
• Engaging in physical activity to release pent-up energy
