Description
 
 
This website features the Alert Program -- a tool for young people to learn to choose appropriate strategies to change or maintain states of alertness. The products available are "A Leader's Guide to the Alert Program for Self-Regulation", and introductory booklet, audiotape and a new book "Take Five! Staying Alert at Home and School". Although the Alert Program initially was intended for children with attention and learning difficulties, ages 8-12, it has been adapted for preschool through adult and for a variety of disabilities. If children are intellectually challenged or developmentally younger than the age of eight, the program's concepts can be utilized by staff to develop sensory diets to enhance learning (Wilbarger & Wilbarger, 1991).
