Educators say they have a number of resources that can help students calm down.
“I think every year, the beginning of school is probably the best time,” said Lisa Hamblen, Principal Havard Elementary School.“Since the pandemic, like most districts across the country, we’ve seen an increase in behavioral concerns,” said Tammy Takeda, Director for Special Education Programs.“They can come in, they can support a classroom. They can support a specific student, or they can kind of support the whole campus,” said Chad Perry, Senior Director for Special Education.
“This room is for students who are struggling to self-regulate and are sometimes escalated, but sometimes just need a moment to take a deep breath,” said Blair Overman, District Autism Specialist.“If somebody is really struggling to sit still, they might choose to go jump, they may say, I just need to get energy out,” said Overman.“They can choose to get in the swing to do that and it gives them the opportunity to just kind of chill.
