Program of Awareness and Resilience in Kids. spark* is an
innovative evidence-based program that teaches children how to
manage and regulate their behavior, thinking and emotions more
effectively. spark* is appropriate for any child, two to 12 years
of age, where self-regulation is a concern; for example, children
with autism spectrum disorders, fetal alcohol disorder, Fragile X
