Regulation through Rhythmic Breathing

Structured mindfulness-based breathing activities help learners practice self-regulation by activating calming physiological responses and tacting internal states.

Narrative-Based Social Learning

Story-driven lessons with participatory elements provide a natural context for practicing perspective-taking,  problem solving, and adaptive communication.

Collaborative Problem-Solving Activities

Team-oriented tasks create opportunities for cooperation, conflict resolution, and peer-mediated reinforcement, supporting both skill acquisition and generalization.

Program Overview

This course provides a structured, evidence-based roadmap for designing and implementing a 10-week social-emotional learning (SEL) program in school, clinic, or home-based settings. By the end of the training, participants will be able to systematically teach young learners critical skills in emotional regulation, interpersonal communication, and cooperative play. Instruction draws on applied behavior analysis (ABA) principles, equipping practitioners with replicable strategies that support generalization and measurable progress.
