EA Operational Overview & At-a-Glance Guide

  • Primary Focus: High-yield classroom support, sensory & communication strategies, and de-escalation protocols.
  • Outreach & Tech Supports: $= dv.current().prp_outreach && dv.current().prp_outreach.length > 0 ? dv.current().prp_outreach.join(" • ") : "District Student Services"
  • Key EA Goal: Build independence through visual supports, proactive environmental engineering, and positive reinforcement.

⚡ 1. Top EA Support Strategies & Accommodations

High-yield, evidence-based practices that EAs can implement immediately in classroom and unstructured settings.

💬 Communication & Visual Supports

  • Visual Schedules & First-Then Boards: Use visual transition cues prior to activity changes; reduce verbal chatter during transitions.
  • Wait Time (10-Second Rule): Allow up to 10 seconds processing time after giving a single, direct instruction before repeating.
  • Sentence Frames & AAC: Keep visual communication boards or sentence strips accessible at all working stations.
🎧 Sensory & Environmental Adjustments

  • Proactive Noise Reduction: Offer noise-cancelling headphones prior to assemblies, gym class, or loud group activities.
  • Movement & Heavy-Work Breaks: Schedule proactive 3-minute heavy-work breaks (e.g., hallway wagon push, wall pushes, carrying weighted pouch) every 30–45 minutes.
  • Seating & Visual Clutter: Position learner facing away from high-traffic doors/windows; provide wobble stool or lap pad as needed.
⚠️ De-escalation & Regulation Best Practices

  • Early Warning Indicators: Watch for subtle escalation cues (e.g., tapping, rapid humming, pacing near windows).
  • De-escalation Rule #1: Reduce verbal demands during dysregulation. Step back, lower voice, and offer visual choice cards or access to a quiet nook.
  • Avoid: Standing directly over the desk, using repeated verbal reprimands, or forcing sudden physical touch.

🛠️ 2. Provincial Outreach & Specialized Equipment Contacts
