    Episode 302: 6 Dos and Don'ts of De-escalation

    In this episode of The Autism Helper Podcast, we’re diving into the critical strategies for de-escalating a challenging situation with children on the autism spectrum. Whether you're a parent, teacher, or therapist, knowing how to manage moments of crisis is key to creating a safe and supportive environment. We’ll walk through the 6 essential dos and don’ts that can help you stay calm and effective during a meltdown or behavioral episode. From controlling your own emotions to understanding when it’s time to back off and give space, these strategies ensure that you’re not only keeping the child safe but also supporting their emotional regulation. You’ll learn about: * Why your mindset matters in a de-escalation situation. * The importance of giving space and removing the audience. * How to have a crisis plan in place with your team. * Why teaching is not a priority during a meltdown. * The importance of not ignoring the situation completely. * How to handle repairing the relationship once the child has calmed down. If you’re looking for practical, research-backed strategies for de-escalation, this episode is a must-listen. Tune in to learn how to turn challenging moments into opportunities for connection and growth. ---------------------------------------------- Join the waitlist for our Professional Development Membership: https://shop.theautismhelper.com/pages/membership-waitlists Want more information about The Autism Helper Courses?

    In this episode of The Autism Helper Podcast, we dive into the world of gestalt language processing with Alex Zachos from Meaningful Speech.

    Episode 296: Special Education Curriculum Designed for Your Classroom

    Special education teachers are often tasked with the complex and overwhelming responsibility of creating curriculum for their classrooms. There are very few curriculum options that meet the needs of a multi-level classroom. Struggles with other curricula include being difficult to navigate, time-consuming to prep, not fitting a wide enough range of skills, and not including data-based decision-making. The Autism Helper Curriculum is currently used in thousands of classrooms around the world. Curriculum Access brings this highly praised curriculum into school districts. This curriculum overcomes many of the obstacles teachers face when using other curriculum options.
