Teacher Guide: Proactive & Reactive Intervention Strategies
Intervention Philosophy
This plan focuses on giving the student a sense of agency and control through visual choices and predictable routines, reducing the need for escape-based behaviors like tantrums or elopement.
Stage Recommended Strategies Proactive
Prevention
|
Behavior Momentum
Ask for 3 small, high-success tasks (e.g., "Give me five! Find the red block!") before giving a redirection or a "no" response.
Visual Warnings
Use a visual timer. Provide a "2-minute warning" before any transition that requires the student to stop a preferred activity.

|
Active
Management
|
Choice Compass Tool
Immediately offer two acceptable choices. "We can't play outside right now, but you can choose: blocks or coloring ?"
The "Safe Anchor" Spot
Direct the student to a pre-defined calm corner to process feelings. Use visual prompts rather than verbal arguments.

Reactive
Safety
|
Planned Ignoring
If minor yelling occurs but safety is maintained, withhold eye contact. Narrate the positive behavior of nearby peers instead.
Elopement Protocol
Follow at a distance for safety. Use visual "STOP" signs. Do not engage in a chase; calmly block exits to non-secure areas.

Recommended Scripts
"I can see you are feeling frustrated . It's okay to feel that way, but it is not okay to yell. When you are quiet, we can look at the Choice Compass together."
"First we finish cleaning up , then we can have snack . Would you like to put away the cars or the blocks first?"
