De-escalation

De-Escalation is the action of reducing the intensity of a conflict. In relation to special needs, this means a conflict of emotions and a struggle to control the natural fight or flight response.

For people with emotional and behavioural difficulties and autism, it can be a real challenge to organise their thinking and calmly respond to a frustrating situation. Often, for those with sensory processing difficulties, sensory overload can mean that anxiety builds in a vicious feedback loop and communication difficulties can make it hard for them to express their emotions until they hit breaking point.
