A comprehensive toolbox that taps into how the developing brain learns best: experientially.
Written by expert clinician Jen Wilke-Deaton, The Big Brain & Body Regulation Toolbox is an in-depth resource that integrates evidence-based therapies like CBT, DBT, and ACT with brain-friendly elements such as movement, multisensory input, rhythm, and repetition to help children find relief in tough moments while rewiring the brain for lasting change.
Inside, you'll find a practical, scaffolded set of interventions that help kids with:
- Anxiety, worry, rumination, and panic
- Depression, anger, irritability, mood swings, self-harm, and suicidal ideation
- Executive functioning, impulse control, organization, and task completion
- ADHD, autism, and neurodivergence
- Underdeveloped social skills, cognitive flexibility, and social cue interpretation
- Defiance, oppositional behavior, low self-esteem, and feeling misunderstood
No matter the symptoms or presenting problem, regulation is at the heart of working with kids who are struggling. While many traditional interventions offer short-term relief, they often lack the structure and depth necessary for lasting change. This book allows you to deliver those long-term solutions--right when your clients need them most.
