The Regulation-First™ In-the-Moment Cards help educators, caregivers, and support teams respond to behavior through the lens of nervous system regulation rather than punishment or control.

• Build long-term regulation and independence
The included color system helps reduce cognitive overload during moments of stress, overwhelm, or dysregulation.

Hi, I’m Katie Wiseman, a special educator with more than 25 years of experience supporting students with disabilities, families, and school teams. My work is built around a simple but powerful idea: behavior is often the last domino.
Before we respond to behavior, we have to look at regulation, safety, connection, predictability, and the environment. When adults understand what may be underneath the behavior, they can design calmer spaces, reduce overwhelm, and restore access to learning, communication, and belonging.
This store offers practical, regulation-informed tools for classrooms, homes, routines, transitions, and adult response. My goal is to help teachers and families move from control to clarity — and from reaction to repair.
