Coping Cat (semester) - A cognitive behavioral approach
that assists school-age children in (1) recognizing anxious feelings and
physical reactions to anxiety; (2) clarifying cognition in anxiety-provoking
situations (i.e., unrealistic expectations); (3) developing a plan to help cope
with the situation (i.e., determining what coping actions might be effective);
and (4) evaluating performance and administering self-reinforcement as
appropriate. The intervention uses behavioral training strategies with demonstrated
efficacy, such as modeling real-life situations, role-playing, relaxation
training, and contingent reinforcement.

Zones of Regulation (quarter) - The Zones is a systematic,
cognitive behavior approach used to teach self-regulation by categorizing all

students to become more aware of, and independent in controlling their emotions
and impulses, managing their sensory needs, and improving their ability to
problem solve conflicts.
