    What if the child is

    What if the child is distracting to the class like shouting very loud and also hurting self. How about if the child is verbal but then he was not 

    able to tell what he wants.or if the teacher provide a choices and the chid were able to choose but then its not really reason of his meltdown.

    maybe next time it will be more interesting if the lecture about meltdown also include actual video.

      I know that it had passed one

      I know that it had passed one year since you submitted this but I’m OT and I think that maybe there must be something in the child’s environment which is causing him that behavior, you need to study what could it be, Is there a lot of sounds in the classroom? Is there a lot of visual stimuli such as too much ornamentation? to much toys into the classroom? And I am agree with you, we need videos.
