De-Escalation Project

The de-escalation training aims to provide in-the-moment regulation activities an educator can utilize when a student’s behaviors escalate as well as long term strategies an educator can use to increase the odds of helping students maintain a regulated state. Participants will learn the phases of escalation, identify behaviors associated with each phase, and incorporate associated strategies, designed to defuse behavior, into an individualized plan. Participants will also learn strategies to encourage appropriate behavior and prevent challenging behaviors.
