What are effective ways to handle meltdowns in class?What are effective ways to handle meltdowns in class?

·6d ago
I work with students who struggle with emotional regulation... I’m looking for effective ways to help them when they experience these meltdowns in the classroom. I want to make sure I’m responding in a way that really helps them (it's hard to tell sometimes) rather than escalating the situation. I basically just try to use calm and reassuring language, but at times it really feels like nothing works and the students just shut down completely.. or worse, become disruptive / aggressive. I’d love to hear what works for others. Thank you!

Hi, I am a special education teacher at a regular school. Many children with special needs are being added to the classes. How do you manage the workload? And how do you handle teachers who haven't received the appropriate training? thank you 🙏🏼

Hi guys, I have a special needs student in my class (I teach 1st grade) and I'm looking for a way to better support their learning and engagement in the classroom. Does anyone have strategies, resources, or tips that have worked well for similar situations?
