Managing meltdowns is very important. I believe the key is getting in early and putting in place strategies before the behaviour escalates.

You will need a range of strategies to prevent the meltdown escalating. For some students strategies that may help include: ignoring, distracting, redirecting, send on an errand, and more.

Understanding the Three Stages of a Meltdown will make it easier to identify and apply strategies to prevent them.
