Students with moderate to severe disabilities (MSD) may exhibit challenging behaviors that are often communicative in nature. This professional learning session is designed to help educators understand the behavioral escalation cycle and apply effective de-escalation strategies tailored to the needs of students with autism and low incidence disabilities.

Participants will explore the stages of the escalation cycle—from calm to recovery—and learn how to identify triggers, implement preventive strategies, and respond appropriately at each stage. The training emphasizes the importance of proactive supports, visual communication tools, and fostering student self-regulation. Attendees will also receive guidance on developing individualized de-escalation plans and supporting paraprofessionals in crisis situations.

Participants will receive 2 hours of professional development credit for attending this virtual session. For questions, contact erica.price@ckec.org
