Lesson Plan

Signal Strategy Session

Teach the student three simple nonverbal signals to request help, indicate a need for a break, and self-calm, then practice using them effectively during class activities.

Equipping the student with clear, non-disruptive cues builds self-control, reduces interruptions, and fosters independence in managing emotions.
