FASD Elephant™ Podcast & BlogFASD Elephant (TM) #012: FASD School Intervention: Getting Back to ReadyStudents with FASD sometimes have “melt-downs” in school. These melt-downs can baffle and anger teachers, staff, and parents, but they are simply the student’s way of showing that they cannot cope with what is being asked of them or with what is going on at the moment.
When a melt-down begins, all goals should change to “getting back to ready,” rather than trying to force compliance (which usually worsens the melt-down). Try the steps suggested in this podcast, and a free PDF hand-out comes with it in episode #012a.
