Teach regulation before students need it most.
The TICK™ Curriculum explicitly teaches the knowledge and skills children need to recognize what is happening inside them, understand what may be contributing to it, choose what may help, and move forward with increasing independence.
More than a collection of calming strategies.
Students build understanding across the skills that support emotional regulation: body cues, emotions, needs, triggers, patterns, strategy selection, communication, decision-making, relationships, and returning to learning.
Designed for explicit instruction. Built for real classrooms.
Each approximately 30-minute lesson combines modeling, guided practice, discussion, application, and reflection in a predictable structure educators can use with confidence.
Ready to teach. Built to be used.
Clear guidance, student-ready materials, and practical supports make the curriculum ready to teach from day one.

The skills deepen as children grow.
Rather than teaching the same regulation lesson year after year, the curriculum builds in complexity as students develop greater emotional awareness, language, reasoning, and independence.
Learning shouldn't stop when the lesson ends.
The curriculum builds knowledge and understanding. The TICK™ Regulation Device gives students access to the same framework when they need it during the school day.
