The Alert Program: How Does Your Engine Run?

How Does Your Engine Run?® A Leader’s Guide to the Alert Program® for Self-Regulation (Williams & Shellenberger, 1996), describes an innovative program that supports children, teachers, parents, and therapists to choose appropriate strategies to change or maintain states of alertness.  Students learn what they can do before a spelling test or homework time to attain an optimal state of alertness for their tasks.  Teachers learn what they can do after lunch, when their adult nervous systems are in a low alert state and their students are in a high alert state.  Parents learn what they can do to help their child’s nervous system change from a high alert state to a more appropriate low state at bedtime.
