IncluRegulate: Self-Regulation & Social Skills for Every Learner.
A self-regulation and social-emotional learning toolkit grounded in autonomic nervous system research, structured breathing protocols, and research-informed social skills training. Designed for neurodivergent students, guided by educators and clinicians, and built to sync seamlessly with district systems.
Available in the IncluShift Thrive app

Clinical Evidence
Grounded in Peer-Reviewed Neuroscience
Every protocol in IncluRegulate is derived from published clinical research, not wellness trends. The app translates laboratory-validated techniques into accessible, age-appropriate digital interactions.
Cyclic Sighing Protocol
The primary breathing exercise in IncluRegulate implements the Cyclic Sighing protocol validated by Balban et al. (2023) at Stanford University School of Medicine. The study demonstrated that five minutes of daily cyclic sighing significantly reduces physiological stress markers and improves affect more effectively than mindfulness meditation alone.

Autonomic Regulation Framework
IncluRegulate's regulation ladder is structured around autonomic nervous system research, which maps physiological states — ventral vagal (safe/social), sympathetic (fight/flight), and dorsal vagal (shutdown) — to observable student behaviors. The app guides learners through state identification and targeted regulation exercises to return to a calm, learning-ready state.

District Integration
From Student Device to District Dashboard — Automatically.
IncluRegulate is not a standalone wellness app. It is a native component of the IncluShift ecosystem. Every regulation session, breathing exercise completion, and self-reported mood check generates FERPA-compliant telemetry that syncs directly to the district's IncluShift OS — giving SPED teams real-time behavioral data without manual entry.
Native IncluShift OS Sync
Session data flows to district dashboards in real time, enriching IEP progress monitoring and MTSS tier decisions.
FERPA-Compliant Telemetry
All student data is encrypted at the edge with zero-PII architecture. No personally identifiable information leaves the device unencrypted.
COPPA Safe Harbor
Designed for students under 13 with full COPPA Safe Harbor compliance. No ad tracking, no third-party data sharing, ever.
