Emotional Disturbance Resource Room

STARTUP GUIDE

Whether you are managing an Emotional Disturbance Resource room or trying to establish a top restrictive level of service for unidentified aggressive students, there are several considerations when creating resources for students with emotional need:

SAFETY: Establish a Safety Plan for the classroom, who are your go-to team trained in crisis prevention, what is policy for seclusion?

ENVIRONMENT: Reduce visual stimulation and materials that can be broken, establish Zones of Proximity with visual cues and rules in each setting.

INTERVENTION: What research-based strategies are you using to teach positive behavior?

REINFORCEMENT: How are students being positively reinforced? What is your classroom management system?

DATA: What / How are you charting for each student? Electronically? Paper-based? Are students self charting?

COMMUNICATION: How are you communicating daily progress to the student, family, teaching team, administrators?
