Self-management and self-regulation

Self-regulation and self-management are essential competencies that children need to develop if they are to become autonomous learners. In the case of students with intellectual disability, emotional disturbance or learning disability, the skills and strategies involved in self-management and self-regulation may need to be explicitly taught (Polloway et al. 2008). When these children acquire adequate self-management, it is much easier for them to be accommodated effectively in inclusive classrooms.
