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 speak with his parents to gain understanding of some prompts that can help him stay in the classroom. I would discuss his progression of RAD with them to see what may trigger meltdowns and what helps. I would build a relationship with that student and then slowly make progression into the classroom. A contract would work as well. At the end of the day review some points and see if they student made enough points to make it back into the classroom for 5 minutes and then the next day 10 minutes.
