⚡ 1. Rapid Field Guidance for EAs

💡 Proactive Classroom Accommodations

• Proactive Noise-Cancelling Headphones: Pre-prompt headphone use 2 minutes before noisy transitions (assemblies, gym, bells).
• Acoustic Seat Placement: Seat student away from HVAC blowers, hallway doors, and pencil sharpeners.
• Classroom Felt Pads: Place felt glides under all chair and desk legs to eliminate scraping sounds.

⚠️ De-escalation & What to Avoid

• Early Indicators: Increased humming, hands over ears, grimacing, pacing near door.
• De-escalation Protocol: Hand over headphones quietly or transition student to low-noise sensory zone.
• Avoid: Expecting focused academic work in high-decibel chaotic environments.
