Therapy Dog - Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭

Helping Students Reflect with Therapy Dogs 🐶💭 There’s something special about the presence of a therapy dog in the classroom. Even the most restless students seem to relax. Some kids who rarely speak up suddenly open up. And for many, it’s the first time they’ve had a chance to experience the unconditional support that a dog offers. But what if we took that experience and turned it into a learning moment? That’s exactly what this reflection activity does. It helps students think about what kindness means, why responsibility matters, and how their actions affect others—whether those others have two legs or four. Why This Activity Feels Different ✔ It gets students thinking, not just answering. It’s not about memorizing facts. It’s about pausing for a moment and reflecting on simple but meaningful questions. ✔ It connects emotions with actions. Why do therapy dogs have rules? Why does kindness matter? These questions lead to unexpectedly deep discussions. ✔ It’s easy for any grade level. Younger kids can draw their answers, while older students might write or discuss. No one feels left out. ✔ It works with or without a therapy dog. Even if your school doesn’t have one, this still sparks conversations about empathy and responsibility. ✔ No prep required. Just print it out, hand it to students, and let them think. How I Use It in My Classroom 📌 First, we talk. I ask, “How do animals teach us about kindness?” or “What do therapy dogs need from us?” The answers are never what I expect—and that’s the best part. 📌 Then, students reflect. They complete a few simple but thoughtful prompts about their own behavior, their emotions, and what they’ve learned. 📌 Next, we share (if they want to). I never make sharing mandatory. But I’m always surprised by how many students want to. 📌 Finally, we put up the poster. It’s a small reminder that kindness and responsibility go beyond the classroom. 🐶 One more idea: If you have a therapy dog visit your class, have students read their reflections to the dog. You’d be amazed at how much more open and engaged they become! What Other Teachers Have Said ✔ “I used this before our first therapy dog visit, and it made a huge difference in how students behaved around the dog.” ✔ “It’s simple but powerful. The class discussions that came from this were amazing.” ✔ “Perfect for social-emotional learning, even without a therapy dog!” Why This Activity Sticks with Students At the end of the day, this isn’t just another worksheet. It’s a way to help students slow down, think about their actions, and reflect on what really matters—whether that’s how they interact with a therapy dog, a classmate, or the world around them. 📥 Give it a try—you might be surprised by what your students come up with. 🐶✨ 📍 Warmly, Heike from Lernfitness Did You Know? I teach with a certified therapy dog, and together we create a positive and inspiring learning environment. 🐶✨

Intended target audience: Grades 3 - 6 (approximately 8 to 12 years old) are referenced in every chapter and case study/worksheet in this curriculum as being appropriate for that age range and developmental level. The other target ages of K - 2 will not be appropriate due to more advanced cognitive requirements (the second-order Theory of Mind, perspective-taking, and restorative language frameworks) and to Grades 7+ (middle school) students for their focus on upper elementary social dynamics (recess exclusion, group projects, rumor spreading, sportsmanship).

Flexible and Scalable (can be used by teachers in whole classes, small groups, individually or as independent study). Can be adapted from Middle School up to High School. Target Student Grade Levels: The curriculum is intended for students in grades 6 through 12 (middle and high school) as well as for teachers implementing it in classrooms. This is reflected in the Teacher Implementation Guide, sections beginning on pages 39-40, with examples of differentiation for middle schoolers and high schoolers as described below: For middle schoolers (grades 6-8), examples are provided, emphasizing peer relationships and how those relationships can lead to digital exclusion, as well as using a scripted role-playing activity. For high schoolers (grades9-12), the focus is on the complexities/differences of exploring nuances, emotional manipulation, gaslighting, intimate partner relationships, and the interconnectedness of digital technologies. The curriculum can be effectively used in Health, Social Emotional Learning (SEL), Advisory, Psychology, Counseling, Life Skills, and Advisory/Homeroom classes, as well as in after school programming, by school counselors, through families who are homeschooling, and by youth groups.

Emotional Regulation & Self-Care Planners for Teens

The Emotional Regulation & Self-Care Planner for Teens (39 pages), which is available digitally as a curriculum and a planner, is laid out in three phases. The first phase (core content & theory) consists of four chapters dealing with the neurobiology of adolescent emotions, the cognitive restructuring process as well as working with the inner critic; somatic regulation (resilience of the nervous system); strategic self-care (boundary architecture). Also included are real-life case studies of teenagers (amygdala hijack, perfectionism spiral, freeze response/burnout cycle); The second phase consists of a student workbook that includes ten interactive worksheets (re: affective granularity/metacognition cognitive distortion; interoceptive/somatic map; navigating the Window of Tolerance boundary architecture; digital ecosystem audit; executive function/anticipatory anxiety; and interpersonal rupture & repair); The third phase consists of visuals & teacher resources (classroom visuals, answer keys, assessment rubrics, teacher implementation guide). The three visuals contain high-fidelity representations of the Window of Tolerance diagram; cognitive-behavioral triad; multidimensional self-care matrix). The teacher resources contain answer keys for each module and rubrics for use in assessing student work. The resource addresses self-care from three frameworks, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and polyvagal theory and defines self-care as "radical stewardship of oneself". It provides teenagers with practical tools for emotional regulation, managing stress, setting digital boundaries, and developing resilience. The resource was designed to be print-ready and tested in classrooms, and includes fillable blank forms and reflection items. What Parents/Schools Appreciate: Based on research and ready to use in class – Integrating CBT, DBT and Polyvagal Theory, the program includes worksheets for students as well as the teacher's key that connects with social emotional learning (SEL) standards, thereby saving weeks of lesson planning. Directly targeted to teens and highly engaging – The material is presented via case studies from students, real-world issues they face with the digital age and through visual diagrams that connect to these emotional learning experiences for grades 9-12. Trauma-informed and provides safety – The material provides the students with options, breaks the stigma on emotional learning and clearly explains the reporting protocols for educators, making it a resource they can use for success in diverse classrooms. Comprehensive and multi-functional – It can be used for whole class lesson plans, small group counseling, advisory periods or as a self-help resource for individual students, one product meets several needs. Immediate learning and long term benefit – Students develop ongoing skills in emotional granularity, boundary setting, and regulating their nervous system while parents and schools experience decreased levels of anxiety and increased levels of focus. Intended Students: Students in Grades 9-12 only. All the examples, case studies, language, and content are created specifically for high school students (ages 14-18) who are dealing with academic pressures, social media, peer group dynamics, forming their identity, and normal neurodevelopmental changes in the developing teenage brain. This material is inappropriate for middle school students (too mature) or college students (too teen-focused).

The Executive Mastery Framework: A Developmentally Scaffolding Curriculum for Neurodiverse Learners "In The Executive Mastery Framework: A Developmentally Scaffolding Curriculum for Neurodiverse Learners," you will find a digital workbook, guide for educators, and other resources that support executive function development in neurodiverse individuals. The 30-page workbook and teacher resource guide provide a new perspective by shifting away from deficit-based models to a neuro-affirming outlook; it equips teachers, parents, and professionals with usable tools and strategies to build external cognitive supports that develop into the internalized capability of neurodiverse individuals. You will discover in this curriculum: Phase 1: Core concepts of neurobiology, executive function challenges, and developmental scaffolding; Phase 2: Ten worksheets (age progression/ability) that assist neurodiverse individuals in developing somatic awareness, impulse control, task initiation, working memory, cognitive flexibility, organizational skills, metacognitive awareness, persistence, vocational skills, and self-advocacy; and Phase 3: Visual frameworks, flowcharts, answer keys with evaluator rubrics. The curriculum contains case studies, reflections and practitioner insights, as well as action-based methodologies such as backward chaining, cognitive offloading, and environmental prosthetics to help neurodivergent children succeed in all aspects of education, work, and life from Pre-K through adulthood. This resource is perfect for special education resources, homeschool ADHD curriculum, autism teaching tools, executive function activities, neurodiversity-affirming education, and for IEP/504 plan support. Why Schools/Parents Appreciate It: Neuroscience-Informed and Research-Based: Uses positive, scaffolded support (shifting from a traditional punitive, deficit-based model) that relies on neuroscience principles to support neurodivergent learners in developing authentic skills in an environment free of shame and frustration. Complete and Versatile: Includes comprehensive [theory and research], interactive [worksheets/visuals/case studies], and teacher resources for easy adaptation for specific learner needs such as ADHD task initiation or autism transition plans. Demonstrated Effectiveness through Case Studies: Real-life examples proving quick and/or dramatic change in many areas and reduced challenging behaviors (i.e. decreasing aggressiveness, reducing instances of "lazy," creating self-advocacy skills) — resulting in higher levels of self-esteem and improved academic performance. Progression through Developmentally Appropriate Stages for Future Success: Provides information supporting learners in developing co-regulation to full independence (from an early age) and preparing them for success post-school (e.g. self-advocacy portfolio). Support for Educators and Parents/Guardians through Time-Saving Ready-to-Use Resources: Provide educators with reflective/reflection-based/rubric-based resources that enable educators to create student autonomy, while minimizing planning time, hence creating fewer behavioural concerns and more engagement. Target Audience of This Curriculum: This Curriculum was designed for use with students who present Neurodiverse profiles. The key characteristics of these profiles include ADHD, autism, dyslexia, executive dysfunction, or NVLD. The curricula analyzed within this PDF have been organized according to developmental progression from Pre-K to 2nd Grade, 3rd to 5th Grade, Middle School/6th to 8th grade, and High School/9th to 12th grade and beyond. Pre-K to 2nd Grade: The focus on early childhood developmentally appropriate foundational learning skills which includes the topics of use of environmental prosthetics, somatic awareness (awareness of the body), impulse inhibition, and developing an ability to co-regulate (worksheets 1 - 2). This would be appropriate for a 4 to 8-year-old child who is either autistic or has ADHD and experiences difficulty with sensory predictability or emotional regulation. 3rd to 5th Grade: Students at this grade level should be practicing the skills of upper elementary school co-regulated navigation, working memory expansion, and task initiation (worksheets 3 - 4). This would be appropriate for any student who displays signs of experiencing transitional anxiety or experiencing a working memory bottleneck. Middle School/ 6th to 8th Grades: The students in this age group should be able to internalize their tooling, develop cognitive flexibility, and work on their organizational systems (worksheets 5 - 6). This would apply to an adolescent who would display signs of experiencing difficulties with social hierarchies or temporal discounting due to their ADHD or AuDHD profile. High School/ 9th to 12th and Transition to Adulthood: Students should be developing their metacognitive self-advocacy skills, time management skills, goal persistence, vocational navigation skills, and independence (worksheets 7 - 10). This would apply to any teen or young adult who is preparing to enter college, work, or request the need for accommodations under the Americans with Disabilities Act due to severe executive dysfunction. This curriculum can be used in a variety of settings including: special education classes, home schooling, therapy sessions, implementation of an IEP, or within an inclusive classroom setting, ages 4-20+.
