The Somatic Attachment Based Classroom  Training (SABC Training) is an online or in-person staff development training for schools, preschools, and daycare centers. Teachers learn to regulate their own nervous systems, attune to the students, and help their students learn to self regulate theirs.  Teachers learn strategies to  build attachment between the students and themselves, as well as among all students in the classroom.  These strategies can effectively address the following challenging student behaviors:

• Not listening

• High distractibility 

• Disruptive Behavior, including calling out, running around the classroom, etc.

• Aggression towards peers or the teacher/staff

• Tantrums

• Difficulty settling down enough to complete tasks

• Difficulty playing with others

• Frequent teariness

• Low frustration tolerance

• Sensory overwhelm

• Withdrawal/shutting down

• Destruction of items belonging to peers or the teacher

The attachment skills taught, including how to create  “attachment bridges” and “attachment detours”, are especially helpful when used before and after limit setting to keep the student in positive relationship with the teachers/staff. This level of physiologically empathic, emotionally safe connection helps all students in the classroom feel seen, safe, cared about and ready to learn.
