In this video the speaker shares a three step approach to managing autism- related meltdowns. First, she emphasises the importance of clearly defining the behaviour, explaining that the term “meltdown” needs specific descriptions to be effective in managing it. Second, she advices conducting an assessment to understand the frequency and severity of the meltdowns, considering the child’s age, size, and strength. Lastly, she stresses the need for preventative strategies, suggesting that 95% of the effort should go into preventing meltdowns, rather than reacting to them.
