Which Learning Option Is Right for You?
The Alert Program® teaches practical strategies for nervous system regulation and better performance.
For more than 40 years, we have worked with occupational therapists to make these strategies practical, useful, and easy to apply. Today, there are three ways to learn the system:
- The Alert Program® Online Course is for therapists, clinicians, educators who want deep, evidence-informed understanding.
- The Your Best Self Online Course teaches the same core framework in a simpler, more accessible format, without the clinical theory.
- Our in-person training and workshops help teams implement the strategies in real-life and practice applying them together.

Still Unsure Which Course to Take?
Start with one question:
Are you learning the system mainly for yourself…or to support others?
Choose the Your Best Self Online Course. It teaches simple ways to regulate alert levels in everyday life, without clinical theory.
Choose the Alert Program® Online Course. It provides a deep, evidence-informed understanding of the system and teaches how to apply it in a variety of settings.
Need Continuing Education Units (CEUs)?
If so, you’ve come to the right place! You can choose to receive CEUs for taking the Alert Program® Online Course, or taking the Your Best Self: The Alert Program® For All Online Course.
