Step 1: Spot & Tools Selection
Pre-Task Choice
🗣️ Say This to the Student:
"Where will you do your strongest work today: desk, back table, or SURF? Which tool do you need: ice pack, fidget, or privacy card?"
Teacher Action: Pause and give 5–10 seconds of processing time. Let her point, clip, or mark her choice on Page 1. Help retrieve the selected tool and place it directly at her workspace.

Step 2: Stuck Reminders & Normalizing Challenge
Self-Advocacy
🗣️ Say This to the Student:
"Remember, if you get stuck, you have 3 moves: 1. Draw a question mark, 2. Leave it blank, or 3. Ask for help."
Move 1: '?' Mark Keeps momentum moving forward
Move 2: Blank Line Reduces panic, allows a return pass
Move 3: Ask Help Safe signal without calling out

Step 3: Prompt Breathing & Calm Assessment Hand-Off
Regulation Routine
🗣️ Say This to Prompt Breathing:
"Let's trace our Calm Breathing Box together one time before we begin. Inhale... hold... exhale... rest. You are centered and ready."
📋
Calm Hand-Off Protocol:
Once the spot is chosen and tools are set up, hand her the assessment calmly with encouraging words: "I believe in your brain. Do your personal best, and remember your 3 moves if you get stuck."
