Presenters: Reesha Adamson, Jessica Nelson & Felicity Post
During this session attendees will be given an overview of the Crisis Intervention Cycle and presenters will outline specific best practices which can be implemented within each phase of the cycle. Specific practices will be described, and resources will be given for systematically thinking about student escalation and providing a continuum of supports and strategies which can be used across all adults within all educational settings. Participants will receive practical strategies and supports for effectively helping students be successful within educational settings and minimizing the need for crisis intervention procedures.
Participants will be able to:
Name and explain one or more student de-escalation strategies for each phase in the crisis intervention cycle.
Use evidence-based classroom de-escalation practices as a strategy within existing behavioral plans.
Select and apply the appropriate intensity of de-escalation strategy for the student behavior they are observing.
Identify additional resources that can facilitate implementation of these practices.
