I was assisting with a task called Snack Shack and one of my students who we’ll call J has issues with regulating sensory overload.

There’s another student who we’ll call G. G is non verbal and has issues with motor skills. Every morning G has trouble with transitions and walks with a para and has an issue with screaming. When G screamed J started to yell and flap his hands. I told a coworker about this and she thanked me for letting her know and told me that one of the things they work on with J is how to advocate for himself and manage his emotions.

I was also told that when J is mad he’s done some things like flip a table. How can I help J manage his anger when a student like G screams. I should also add that I’m autistic myself and struggle as well

I’m going to assume there are students who don’t bother to cover their mouths when they cough

To make it worse one girl hurt my feelings and made me feel dumb

There’s this one student who we’ll call G. G is nonverbal and has some issues with motor skills. Every morning G has to have one of the staff walk her in and that’s when she screams. However once she is in the sensory room for a bit she’s completely calm
