[quote=Anonymous]You sound like you have a young child. One meltdown ever would not be tolerated by most 4th and 5th grade teachers much less the administration. It's great your school is being supportive but you sound like you're not taking this seriously. I know families whose kids who got suspended for meltdowns for "classroom disruption."

Your child needs explicit instruction or services in emotional regulation and how to calm himself down and have appropriate behaviors when he is upset. You are probably doing this privately and if you aren't you are really in denial but you should ask for social skills/regulation instruction from the school.

Accommodations include what PP put above, movement/ sensory breaks, access to the counselor to process what happened.

What is triggering the meltdowns? You need to ask the school to do a functional behavior analysis so you can minimize triggers. If it's because the teacher is running the fan on the days he has meltdowns the teacher can turn off the fans or your child may be allowed to go to a different class. Is it on days when the schedule changes? Your child may need a visual schedule or prompting before schedule changes.[/quote]
