Alright, so in this specific example, the problem is that when the student’s nervous system detects a transition as a threat (sensory overload, executive function demand), it shifts into a survival state. In this state, the limbic system (the survival brain) takes control, and the prefrontal cortex (the thinking, planning, and language part of the brain) goes offline.

A skill learned when the prefrontal cortex is active (like the logic of using a break card to get a reward or escape) is not going to be retrievable when the survival brain is in charge. The student cannot access a complex, rational strategy when his body is screaming “fight/aggression” or “flight/elope”.

So we need to step back and create supports to help with regulation such as co-regulation and specifics as to what that looks like (which I’ll do in part 2 :-)

Sometimes a swear word is really just ‘I’m overwhelmed, I’m stressed, I’m overloaded.’

Meet the need, not the noise!
