Real Support for Real Students: The Stimulation Profile System

What Is the Stimulation Profile?

The Stimulation Profile is a student-specific support system that helps school teams recognize sensory triggers, regulation patterns, and executive functioning needs—before behaviors escalate.

It's built for educators who want to move beyond reactive discipline and instead support students experiencing:

  • Early signs of overwhelm

  • Shut-downs, refusals, or overstimulation

  • Sensory-seeking or avoidant behaviors

  • Struggles with task initiation or completion

Instead of waiting for an FBA or behavior plan to catch up, this tool gives teams a way to:

  • Document what's happening in real time

  • Identify what helps and when

  • Align IEP, BIP, and classroom strategies to the student's actual regulation needs

Think of it like an early-warning system for behavior. It doesn’t replace your IEP team—it makes your team more effective.

What It Does

  • Highlights Triggers – Identifies patterns across settings and sensory systems

  • Clarifies Support – Helps teams match strategies to the student's real needs

  • Prevents Escalation – Reduces shutdowns, meltdowns, and disciplinary cycles

Additional Support Areas

  • Task initiation and follow-through

  • Sensory-seeking or avoidant behaviors

  • Overwhelm during transitions or group time

  • Refusals and shutdowns misunderstood as "noncompliance"

  • Improved academic performance

  • Decrease in disciplinary referrals

What It’s Not

The Stimulation Profile is not an FBA. It is not a replacement for related services or evaluations. It is a preventative support layer that helps students and staff meet earlier—not later.

Evidence-Aligned Foundations

This system is based on practices aligned with:

  • CHADD (Children and Adults with ADHD)

  • Autism Society

  • STAR Institute for Sensory Processing

  • A brain-based lens grounded in neuroscience, executive functioning, and regulation frameworks.

  • PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) Frameworks

  • Executive Functioning interventions aligned with OT and BCBA practices

  • Integration of real-world IEP data to guide practical classroom implementation

  • MTSS (Multi-Tiered System of Supports) and RTI (Response to Intervention) models

Why Schools Use the Stimulation Profile

The Stimulation Profile System helps schools close the gap between behavior support and academic success. It’s not just another data sheet—it’s a proactive framework that:

  • Gives IEP teams a clear, consistent way to document executive functioning, sensory triggers, and regulation needs

  • Prevents unnecessary disciplinary actions by identifying patterns before escalation

  • Supports real collaboration across general education, special education, and behavior teams

  • Improves IEP quality by aligning classroom observations with accommodations and service decisions

  • Empowers educators with tools that are evidence-based, easy to use, and rooted in lived experience

Schools use the Stimulation Profile when they’re ready to go beyond compliance and build real, individualized supports that work.

Stimulation Profile Guide Overview

The full Stimulation Profile System is delivered as a 8-part educator guide. Each section builds toward team-wide implementation and behavior prevention at the earliest possible stage:

  • 1. What Is a Stimulation Profile
  • 2. Understanding Sensory Behavior
  • 3. Executive Functioning Through a Brain-Based Lens
  • 4. From Observation to Support
  • 5. Implementation Walkthrough
  • 6. Outcome Summary
  • 7.Educator Planning Toolkit
  • 8. Data Collection Tools

Student Outcome Data (Chapter 6)

Domains of Measurement:

  • Behavioral Regulation
  • Use of Supports
  • Academic Performance
  • Social Communication
  • Alignment of Plans
  • Disciplinary History
  • Functional Communication

Performance Results:

  • Student A: 78% overall improvement (shutdowns down 75%, independent use of tools up to 80%)
  • Student B: 75% overall improvement (outbursts down 50%, tool use up to 75% with prompting)
  • Supports now integrated into IEPs and BIPs, reducing behavioral referrals and improving classroom engagement

This Isn’t Theory—It’s Proof.

Educators aren’t just using the Stimulation Profile because it works—they’re using it because it helps them make faster, clearer decisions as a team.

  • Behavior teams now have real-time regulation data, not just incident logs
  • Speech, OT, and counseling providers use the same tool to track patterns across settings
  • IEP teams are writing accommodations and supports with actual alignment to what’s happening in the classroom
  • General educators are more confident and less reactive

When teams use this tool consistently, they stop chasing behavior—and start understanding it.

Stimulation Profile – Standalone Classroom Trial

This free, single-student version of the Stimulation Profile System is designed for classroom trial use. It allows one educator to implement the system with one student to observe patterns, apply sensory-aligned supports, and gather data—without committing to full licensing.

What’s Included:

  • Stimulation Profile Data Sheet (trial version)
  • Quick Start Instructions
  • Educator walkthrough for standalone implementation
    • Trial Use Terms and Restrictions

Intended Use:

  • Trial implementation by one educator with one student
  • May be included in IEP documentation, planning notes, or BIP alignment
  • May be shared among direct support team members only

Restrictions:

  • Not for use with multiple students
  • Not authorized for school-wide training, team PD, or shared digital platforms
  • May not be modified, redistributed, or branded under other frameworks
  • Copyright remains with Michelle Velazquez

Use of the standalone version does not constitute a licensed agreement. For full system access, PD, or multi-student use, a paid license is required.
