Alright, so in this specific example, the problem is that when the student’s nervous system detects a transition as a threat (sensory overload, executive function demand), it shifts into a survival state. In this state, the limbic system (the survival brain) takes control, and the prefrontal cortex (the thinking, planning, and language part of the brain) goes offline.

A skill learned when the prefrontal cortex is active (like the logic of using a break card to get a reward or escape) is not going to be retrievable when the survival brain is in charge. The student cannot access a complex, rational strategy when his body is screaming “fight/aggression” or “flight/elope”.

So we need to step back and create supports to help with regulation such as co-regulation and specifics as to what that looks like (which I’ll do in part 2 :-)

Sometimes a swear word is really just ‘I’m overwhelmed, I’m stressed, I’m overloaded.’

Meet the need, not the noise!

Breathing is automatic AND voluntary and the only body system that does both.

It’s not dangerous and I know that because as I type this caption, I’m not breathing. Lol.
