How Does My Engine Run?

"My grandson's Occupational Therapist ran the"ALERT - How Does Your Engine Run Program. It made a significant difference. Below are results in my grandson's own words"

 

When my engine is LOW	When my engine is HIGH	When my engine is JUST RIGHT
I feel Bored Tired Sad Sleepy Like doing nothing	I feel Like his head will explode Crazy Like laughing Like running fast Like playing football	I feel Happy Ready to work Able to listen Able to pay attention Okay Good
To go faster, I can Run a race Take a walk Chew gum Eat pretzels or cookies Eat lemon heads or red hots	To slow down, I can Get a drink of water Take a deep breath Do chair push ups Rock in a rocking chair Dim the lights Listen to quiet music Draw	To stay just right, I can Relax Keep my hot wheel to remind me Ask others to help
