When students are destroying essential classroom materials like schedules and task boxes, it can feel overwhelming and even chaotic. In this episode, we unpack what’s really going on behind destructive behavior and, more importantly, what you can do about it. We’ll cover immediate response strategies, how to keep everyone safe, and long-term solutions that focus on teaching replacement skills and identifying the function of the behavior. Whether you're in a classroom or a clinical setting, this episode offers practical, calm, and compassionate guidance for when things are literally falling apart.
