Instead, this child spends most of the day in a cool down room for safety. A diagnostic assessment for this student's IEP is coming up soon. How can Mr. Jones administer this test safely and encourage the student to move back into the classroom? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) I would create a plan with the student to increase the amount of time in class. Start with their favorite subject for five to ten minutes, and allow them to choose their seat. If they will be tested in a different room, ensure the student is comfortable with the room and the person responsible for testing. Mr. Jones needs to ensure he builds positive interactions with the student so he is not associated with the meltdowns that occur in the classroom.
