We all have more difficulty thinking, communicating, and problem-solving when emotions run high. And it's important to remember when we're supporting individuals with difficulties regulating emotions or sensory systems, there may come a point when all reasoning is lost and it's just about supporting the recovery.

We like to remind carers to keep it 'Low & Slow' at this point.
Lower your volume, and the general noise level in the room if possible. Reduce the complexity of your speech, if you need to say anything at all. In general, you want to dampen the overall sensory experience.

You would also want to be aware of positioning. Be very conscious of your own safety and don’t put yourself in a vulnerable position, but if you need to be near, being at or near their level is best.

Again, if you need to communicate a message slow down that speech and allow time to process. And slow down your agenda. If you’re in a fret, that’s going to feed into their stress. So slow down your movement, and take a few deep breaths yourself to slow down your own heart rate. Be obvious about it, you might even find when they’re ready, they’ll follow your lead and begin doing the same.

If your child or learner is struggling with anxiety or behaviour, feel free to drop us a message or book a chance to speak with us online at . We would love to help. ... See MoreSee Less
