Traditional behavior systems like PBIS often focus on compliance instead of connection. This session introduces the “Three Zones of Space” model—a trauma-informed, neuro-affirming approach developed by educator and author Rebecca Engle. Participants will learn how to design classroom environments that support regulation, autonomy, and safety for all learners, especially autistic and neurodivergent students. Rebecca will share practical tools, classroom visuals, and real-world examples from her work as a Behavior and Dyslexia Specialist. Attendees will leave with strategies to replace token systems with science-based supports grounded in neuroscience, compassion, and the human need for belonging.
