Test De-escalation of crisis situations

QUESTION 1: WHAT IS THE FIRST STEP TO DE-ESCALATE A CRISIS SITUATION ACCORDING TO THE TEXT?

Ignoring underlying causes
Understand the underlying causes, which can range from sensory overstimulation to communication difficulties or anxiety
Increase the tone of voice to capture the child's attention
Tomar decisiones impulsivas sin analizar la situación

Because children cannot perceive the emotions of adults
Because children are sensitive to the emotions of the adults around them, and keeping calm can help calm the child
Because crises are not related to the emotions of adults
Because crises only affect the child, not the caregivers

Increasing sensory over-stimulation to distract the child
Remove overwhelming sensory stimuli and provide calming objects, such as weighted blankets or sensory toys
Ignoring the environment and focusing only on the child's behavior
Shouting to get the child's attention

Using complex language to challenge the child
Use clear and simple language, avoid words or phrases that increase anxiety, and maintain eye contact if the child allows it
Ignoring the child and not trying to communicate
Speaking in an aggressive tone to show authority

They are not useful, as they cannot be applied during times of crisis
They are useful tools for both the child and the caregiver to manage their emotions during times of crisis
Only useful for the caregiver, not for the child
They increase the child's anxiety during a crisis

No benefits, as the child must follow instructions without questioning
Offering limited choice and control can provide a sense of security and autonomy, decreasing anxiety and facilitating cooperation
Offering too many options can confuse the child and worsen the crisis
Offering choice and control is only relevant if the child is completely calm

Professional help should never be sought, as crises are a normal part of a child's development
Professional help should be sought only if caregivers feel overwhelmed, regardless of the child's situation
Professional help should be sought if crisis situations are too difficult to handle, and therapists specializing in autism can offer additional strategies and support
Professional help should only be sought if the child is in physical danger, not for other reasons
