  Case: ESE Student Disrupts the Class
When I was interning in a kindergarten classroom, there was one girl who was diagnosed with autism. She was five years old and non-verbal. When things seemed to upset her it was very clear though loud vocalizations and tantrums. The teacher requested to have 1-to-1 aide work with the student but it took months before receiving the help. During that time, teaching time was wasted due to the teacher having to redirect her attention to deal with that student. What kinds of tools could she have used to prevent these behaviors and not take away from the rest the class?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This is something I feel we will all face at one point in our lives. I always felt that if you give attention to a person who is acting irrationally, then they will keep acting the same way to keep getting that attention. So, I would say try to ask that student to go to a safe space and work it out.

Comments: This is a non-verbal student with ASD. The "tantrum" or breakdown may be due to sensory overload, anxiety, sudden changes etc. and once they get to the point of the breakdown it is usually not something they can snap out of easily.
