1 year agoMy son has been provided a safe/quiet space to remove himself to and the option to go there when he feels it necessary as part of his IEP. It’s been a huge help and he’s been needing it less as he gets older. It doesn’t really solve problems, but it definitely helps prevent them from cropping up or spiraling out of control as often.
Sensory toys/fidgets are good too. It helps divert some of that frantic brain activity so it becomes more manageable.
On the flip side, I will never forget a Stacy.
