  • "Infographic by Greg Santucci, Occupational Therapist, titled 'Understanding the Brain: Will Help Understand the Behavior,' based on the concept from The Whole-Brain Child by Dr. Dan Siegel and Dr. Tina Payne Bryson. The infographic features an illustration of a brain divided into two sections. The upper section is labeled 'Upstairs Brain' and is marked with a construction sign reading 'Under Construction Until Mid-20s.' Arrows point outward from the upstairs brain to four functions: Thinking, Reasoning, Problem-Solving, and Planning. The lower section is labeled 'Downstairs Brain,' with arrows pointing outward to three functions: Safety, Reactive, and Sensory Processing. Below the brain diagram, an explanatory paragraph states that when a child has big emotions or feels threatened, they are dysregulated and in their downstairs brain, and cannot access their upstairs brain where thinking and reasoning occur. A callout section on challenging behavior states: 'Use the Power of YOU! They need you to co-regulate, not escalate further. You can't reason with someone who can't access their upstairs brain. Listen. Validate. Help them feel safe. Meet them where they are: They're Downstairs.' The infographic includes cartoon illustrations of two children on a staircase, visually representing the upstairs and downstairs brain concept."

  • "Infographic by Greg Santucci, Occupational Therapist, titled 'Chase The Why of Behavior.' The infographic opens with three behavior descriptions across the top: Not Paying Attention; Not Working; Not Following Directions, followed by the prompt to chase the why of the behavior. The main section lists possible reasons behind the behavior under the heading 'The Why Could Be,' organized across three groups. The first group includes: I'm focused on something else; I didn't sleep well; I'm overwhelmed; I was late to school; There's stress at home. The second group includes: It's too loud in here; I'm hungry; My shirt is itchy; I have to use the bathroom; The classroom is just too much right now. The third group includes: I'm bored; You're not teaching the way I learn; I don't understand; I'm embarrassed to ask for help; I don't know how to get started. Below the lists, the infographic states 'There Are Many More Whys' and closes with three key reminders: The outside behavior is a signal that there's a problem on the inside; Don't react to the outside behavior — find out why the behavior is occurring; and The why is never simply attention seeking or avoiding — keep chasing."
