What Do You Need? Regulation Choice Sheets for Inclusive & Adaptive Gymnastics

Managing dysregulation in inclusive and adaptive classes is tough—especially when athletes lose their words or can’t express what they need. Coaches are often left guessing, which eats into class time, increases frustration, and sometimes leads to unsafe behaviors.

The “What Do You Need?” Regulation Choice Sheets give athletes a clear, visual way to communicate their needs in the moment. Instead of shutting down or escalating, athletes can simply point to a picture or word. Coaches get instant clarity on how to help, while athletes feel heard and supported.

How this makes your classes easier:

• Saves time when athletes become dysregulated by giving you ready-to-use tools.
• Preserves athlete autonomy by letting them choose what will help their brain and body regulate.
• Reduces frustration for both coach and athlete.
• Builds consistency across your staff—everyone has the same tool to rely on.
• Includes a customizable blank sheet so you can tailor strategies to your athletes.

What’s Included:

✅ 2 full-color “What Do You Need?” choice sheets with visuals (movement + calming strategies)

✅ 1 blank template for custom strategies (add words, pictures, or symbols)

✅ Instruction page with implementation tips for coaches

✅ Printable + laminatable design for easy reuse

Who it’s for:

• Gymnastics, trampoline, and movement coaches
