⚡ 1. Rapid Field Guidance for EAs

💡 Proactive Classroom Accommodations

• Visual Carrel / Workstation: Use a 3-panel plain study carrel during independent desk work.
• Dark Desk Mat: Place a solid dark silicone mat under white paper handouts to define task boundaries.
• Lighting Adjustment: Use natural window light or warm desk lamps instead of flickering overhead fluorescents.

⚠️ De-escalation & What to Avoid

• Early Indicators: Looking around room constantly, sliding under desk, rubbing eyes.
• De-escalation Protocol: Clear visual clutter from desk; fold handout to show only one section at a time.
• Avoid: Giving visually busy worksheets with excessive graphics or decorative elements.
