The Nervous System Reset: Practical Regulation Tools for Adults

In today’s fast-paced, overstimulating world, many adults are living in a constant state of dysregulation, impacting their focus, emotional control, sleep, and overall participation in daily life. This 90-minute course equips occupational therapy practitioners and other professionals with a clear, evidence-based understanding of the nervous system and practical tools to support regulation in adults through simple daily changes, movements and strategies.

Participants will learn how the nervous system, sensory processing, and retained primitive reflex patterns influence behavior, stress responses, and functional performance. This training goes beyond theory, providing actionable, occupation-based strategies that can be immediately implemented into clinical practice, home routines, and self-care. Participants will leave with a toolbox of techniques to support regulation, attention, and participation in all areas of life!

Learning Outcomes

  1. List three common signs of nervous system dysregulation in adults across emotional, cognitive, and physical domains.
  2. Identify the relationship between sensory processing, stress responses, and occupational performance.
  3. State two ways retained primitive reflex patterns may contribute to adult dysregulation and functional challenges in daily routines.
  4. List five evidence-based nervous system regulation strategies that can be implemented in daily routines.
