The ALERT and ZOR programs fall into which framework domain?

These programs center on how sensory input and arousal regulation affect participation in daily activities. Both use sensory-based strategies to modulate arousal so a child can attend, participate, and engage in tasks. The ALERT Program provides a structured set of sensory activities (like proprioceptive input and deep pressure) to up- or down-regulate arousal, helping the child reach an optimal state for learning. Zones of Regulation teaches awareness of different emotional states and uses sensory cues and strategies to shift toward a more regulated zone. While they touch on emotion and behavior, the drive behind both is how sensory processing and modulation support participation, making the sensory framework the best fit.
