Introducing the
Regulation in the Moment Masterclass

A 3-State Capacity Check for Paediatric OTs

A practical 2-hour masterclass to help Occupational Therapists decide what to do when a child escalates in the moment.

When a child is dysregulated, therapists are often left asking:

• Should I contain this situation?
• Should I scaffold the child?
• Is this actually a teaching moment?
• Will consequences even land right now?

This live workshop introduces a simple 3-State Capacity Check to guide confident clinical decision-making during escalation moments.

Why escalation moments are so difficult in paediatric OT

Many therapists are taught tools and strategies.

But far fewer are taught how to decide what to do in the moment when a child escalates.

When regulation breaks down, therapists often find themselves wondering:

• Is this behaviour or nervous system overload?
• Should I push through or pause?
• Why do strategies work sometimes but fail other times?
• How do I explain what I did clinically in my notes?

Without a clear framework, these moments can feel uncertain.

And documentation often ends up sounding vague:

"Sensory strategies were used."

But clinical reasoning deserves to be clearer than that.

What you will learn

In this 2-hour masterclass you will learn how to:

• recognise regulation capacity in real time
• identify when the nervous system requires stabilising
• determine when scaffolding is appropriate
• recognise when a child is actually ready for teaching
• understand why strategies sometimes fail during escalation
• strengthen your clinical reasoning in challenging moments
• document regulation-based work more clearly for NDIS

This is designed to support confident, regulation-informed decision making.
