Occupational therapy is one of the most effective yet overlooked treatment strategies for helping those with self-regulation challenges.
Those who struggle with regulation or self-control may have trouble with the following:
- Understanding and managing their emotions
- Processing and integrating their sensory system
- Performing executive functioning tasks such as organizing, planning, being flexible, or transitioning
Challenges with self-regulation can lead to additional challenges in daily life including:
- Disruptive behavior
- Distractibility or inability to focus
- Social challenges
- Academic struggles
- Low self-esteem
- Anxiety
