🎒 Materials & Tools Required

CARD choice deck, desk reference card, fidget tools, relaxation scripts.

🚶‍♂️ Step-by-Step Routine

Pre-Event Review: Before a stressful activity (e.g., oral presentation, fire drill), review the student's personal CARD choices.
Strategy Selection: Have student pick 1-2 categories: Comfort (favorite hoodie/fidget), Ask (question for teacher), Relax (deep breathing), or Distract (puzzle card).
Execution & Check-In: Monitor strategy use silently and provide non-verbal validation when used effectively.

🚨 Troubleshooting & De-escalation (When things go wrong)

If the student freezes during stress: Offer two pre-selected CARD choices directly on desk (e.g., 'Relax breathing card or Distract puzzle?').
What NEVER to do: Never dismiss student anxiety as exaggerated or force public participation without accommodations.
Signs of frustration: Rapid shaking, refusal to enter room. Initiate Comfort protocol immediately.
