💡 Proactive Classroom Accommodations

• Safety Plan Adherence: Daily review and strict implementation of active student Safety Plan de-escalation steps.
• Low-Arousal Demeanor: Speak in slow, low-volume 3-word visual commands during escalation.
• Clear Exit Path: Ensure student desk is positioned near an unblocked exit route away from high-density seating.

⚠️ De-escalation & What to Avoid

• Yellow Zone: Offer immediate movement break or sensory pouch. Step back 6 feet. Red Zone: Initiate Safety Plan, clear surrounding students if required, maintain staff safety distance.
