⚡ 1. Rapid Field Guidance for EAs

💡 Proactive Classroom Accommodations
  • Scheduled Heavy Work Jobs: Assign daily errands like hauling hallway mail wagons, stacking chairs, or carrying weighted balls.
  • Weighted Lap Pad / Vest: Provide a weighted lap pad (10% body weight) during carpet or desk focus time.
  • Flexible Dynamic Seating: Use wobble cushions, resistance bands on desk chair legs, or therapy ball seats.
⚠️ De-escalation & What to Avoid
  • Early Indicators: Slumping over desk, kicking chair legs, pushing heavily against heavy tables.
  • De-escalation Protocol: Engage immediately in 3 minutes of heavy work (e.g., wall pushes, carrying books).
  • Avoid: Restricting physical movement as a penalty for restlessness.
