Your kindergarten student Charlotte has daily meltdowns in her classroom. She screams, kicks, and throws things. Other students must be removed from the room. During therapy sessions, you have determined that Charlotte enjoys crawling through a tunnel and playing with fidget toys inside a tent. What intervention do you recommend to teaching staff to use when Charlotte has meltdowns?
  1. Hold on to Charlotte tightly, while she sits in a corner of the classroom.
  2. Allow Charlotte to run around outside and throw a ball.
  3. Leave Charlotte alone until her meltdown is over.
  4. Remove Charlotte from the classroom, and allow her to sit in a play tent to calm down.
Explanation
Answer: D. Charlotte responds well to small, enclosed spaces. So an appropriate intervention for Charlotte during a meltdown would be to remove her from the classroom and allow her to sit in a play tent in a quiet area to calm down.
