Crisis moments can feel frightening, especially when emotions escalate quickly. A prepared family feels more confident and safer during intense situations.
At Bethelxafe Autism Foundation, we encourage families to create calm, structured crisis plans before emergencies occur.
What to Include in a Crisis Plan
- Early warning signs of escalation
- Calming tools that typically help
- A designated safe space
- Emergency contact numbers
- Clear steps for caregivers to follow
Why Preparation Matters
When responses are practiced during calm times, everyone feels more secure during difficult moments.
Maintaining Dignity
Safety must always come first, but dignity should never be compromised. Calm presence and predictable responses protect both.
