In today’s episode, Lisa dives into one of the most underrated but most powerful parts of behavior support: the micro-moments. These are the quick 5-second decisions—tone, phrasing, proximity, visuals, and tiny choices—that turn chaotic days into calm ones.

Instead of relying on complicated plans or intense interventions, Lisa breaks down how small, intentional shifts in your interactions can prevent escalation, strengthen connection, and create a smoother classroom environment. Whether you're in a 12:1:1 room, pushing into gen ed, or supporting students with a wide range of needs, these micro-moves are the tools you can put into action tomorrow.
