serve as a preventative measure as well as a coping strategy that students with ASD can learn to use in order to calm their senses, reduce anxiety, and eliminate their feelings of frustration as they learn to control their emotion


allow the student a brief moment to turn his stress card in to his or her teacher, signaling he was upset and about to lose control of his emotions.


would then leave the classroom and report to his Home Base Area (behavioral specialist office)


there, student would engage in a series of calming routines that he was taught then return to the class

this approach is effective the ASD students from bothering or interupting the other students
