This is a de-escalation program overview to help train teachers and parents. It covers Things to Keep in Mind, Approaching the Student, Communication with the Student, and Reflection with the Student. I have used these strategies with many of my own clients, and was developed using a variety of resources.

It it written to be for general use, but can be modified to include specifics for each student as needed. Disclaimer: This does not take the place of crisis management programs. If your child, student, or client engages in severe or dangerous behaviors, further crisis management protocals should be used.
