Self-regulation is a specific set of skills including social skills, problem solving, emotional responsiveness, and comprehension of emotions. These skills are developed through modeling from those around us, reinforcement of appropriate behaviors, and direct instruction. As children enter preschool, some students may struggle to develop these important skills. Research has shown significant risks for behavioral problems, academic struggles and difficulties with peer relationships for children who do not have self-regulation skills. This study used an A-B-C multiple baseline across subjects design to analyze the effectiveness of modified lessons from Zones of Regulation® curriculum on preschool students’ ability to self-regulate. Interval time sampling recording was used to track students' engagement and inappropriate behaviors. After a baseline phase, modified lessons of the Zones of Regulation® curriculum were taught in a pull-out session with the target student and a peer. In the third phase, teachers were trained to promote natural learning opportunities within the classroom, known as incidental teaching, to provide reinforcement for new skills. Findings suggest pull-out lessons are effective in promoting self-regulation for preschool students within their classroom. Incidental teaching enhanced the skills learned and promoted generalization of skills outside of the pull-out session.
