The Pandemic Stress Management Toolkit for caregivers, educators and healthcare providers.

Stress during this pandemic is like no other stress we’ve experienced before, which is why large numbers of educators and service providers are breaking down and experiencing uncontrolled stress responses. Many of our normal and automatic means of coping are inadequate for this increased demand. We need to be more deliberate in our efforts to reset the stress response ourselves. The following toolkit gives specific instruction to support individuals to interrupt the stress response and reset their brains and bodies.

ASD Students have trouble adjusting to new routines, changes in routine, and a breakdown in structure. They like things to be predictable and orderly. When there is a breakdown in the normal routine, when the day is too chaotic, or when the schedule is too full, the ASD student becomes overwhelmed, easily upset or agitated, and may withdraw or have an outburst. There are many sources of stress for the ASD student that are not stressful for the typical student.
