APPLIED SELF-REG KNOWLEDGE (ASK) RESEARCH NETWORK
Less than a decade after the publication of Dr. Stuart Shanker’s paradigm revolutionary book Calm Alert and Learning, research into the positive difference Shanker Self-Reg@ can make is flourishing across diverse areas of research and practice and around the world.
