TEST DRIVE: INTRODUCING THE ALERT PROGRAM® THROUGH SONG

Full of practical ideas and suggestions, Test Drive is the simplest way to introduce the Alert Program® concepts to children in elementary schools, homes, or therapy settings, even if the reader is unfamiliar with the Leader’s Guide or Take Five! books.
You'll be amazed how these songs will do the work for you. Teaching the Alert Program® just got much easier!!!!

Alert program leaders guide

LEADER’S GUIDE
How Does Your Engine Run?® A Leader’s Guide to the Alert Program® for Self-Regulation draws from Mary Sue Williams’ and Sherry Shellenberger’s years of experience working in the schools and therapy clinics. This practical book explains the Alert Program® in its entirety. It guides you through the twelve steps to teach independent self-regulation with an extensive list of activities and clinical stories. The book includes all worksheets, charts, and pictures needed for the program with permission to copy for educational use. Join the thousands of parents, teachers, and therapists who are helping children through the use of this outstanding program.
All products are designed for primary school-aged students. Many teachers, parents, and therapists have successfully adapted the products for older or younger children.
NOTE: Some people believe that they need all the products in order to use the program. Actually, the Leader's Guide is the only product that is essential for implementing the whole program. But many don't have time to teach the whole program with all its steps and stages, so instead they start with the Test Drive book and CD, Introductory Booklet, Take Five! book, or Alert Program® CD. It's up to you!

Alert program introductory booklets

INTRODUCTORY BOOKLET
This booklet is an excerpt from the first chapter of the Leader's Guide. It is an overview of the program. Teachers often give the booklet to a parent to share what Alert Program® concepts the student is learning at school. Likewise, parents can use it as a resource to give to teachers to have them understand what they are doing with their child at home. Or, therapists can give this booklet to parents to help them understand what their child is learning in therapy. All appreciate this concise summary of the most important Alert Program® concepts.

Accompanying CD for Alert Program

ALERT PROGRAM® CD
This double CD set includes an introduction to the program with excerpts from the Leader's Guide that are read aloud by the authors. Many enjoy listening to the excerpts (first CD), rather than reading the Introductory Booklet. The second CD has fun, playful songs that help children change their engine speeds. These songs do not utilize the engine analogy (actual engine words in the lyrics) as the Test Drive CD does; it provides songs that are coded (arrows pointing up for alerting songs and arrows pointing down for calming songs), thus guiding teachers, parents, and therapists to choose appropriate songs to support self-regulation.

Alert Program Companion Game

KEEPING ON TRACK: Alert Program® Companion Board Game:
If you are geared up to use what you've learned through the Alert Program, this enticing board game is for you! After children have been introduced to the Alert Program concepts through the Leader's Guide's activities, Test Drive's songs, or ALERT: GO FISH! and ALERT BINGO, they are ready for this great game.
The 18" x 18" board captures children's imaginations with colorful illustrations and landmarks along their road trip. Four cars, one die, and three sets of cards are included in the game box.
