The ability to manage one’s emotions in response to situations and other people includes understanding the context of an experience and using healthy strategies to manage emotions. Autistic children may experience difficulties regulating their emotions.
Don’t Tell Me to Calm Down: Supporting Autistic Children with Stress and Anxiety focuses on teaching early learning and childcare professionals possible strategies and tools to work through stress, anxiety and emotional dysregulation with Autistic children.
While Don’t Tell Me to Calm Down discusses emotional regulation and supporting autistic children, the strategies and tools discussed in this training are transferrable to other learners who experience anxiety, distress and emotional dysregulation.
