The Alert Program was developed by Occupational Therapists to teach children self-regulation and to teach adults how to support learning, attending and positive behaviour in children.

It uses the analogy that the body is like a car engine sometimes running too high, sometimes too low and sometimes just right.

Participation in the Alert Program will provide the child and adults with a common language and words to describe how the child's engine is running.

It will also provide a range of simple, low-budget strategies and activities that can be incorporated easily into the home and into school routines, to assist the child with feeling just right.

We have enhanced our Alert Program by adding additional visual support and interactive cue cards, to better support children with special needs.
