What type of graphic organizer(s) might the student require in order to visually represent and organize the concepts, feelings, or behaviors that relate to this particular topic?
Some students may need a graphic organizer that acknowledges what most people would like to do in these situations to help validate his feelings and help gain some perspective of others’ thoughts. Seeing the consequences for both inappropriate and appropriate responses could help the student understand the importance of this skill.

A decision tree could be designed to show the consequences of an appropriate response and an inappropriate response to handling a mistake.
In situations where the student does respond inappropriately, he might benefit from an opportunity to reflect on what happened and (with your guidance) identify a better way to respond in the future. This should only occur once the student is calm and if he can effectively process what happened. However, as emphasized repeatedly across the curriculum, your effort should be primarily directed towards the antecedent-based strategies that might be used to prevent escalations from occurring in the first place:
Is there a way to visually or thematically incorporate the student’s interests into this graphic organizer to increase motivation and engagement?
What additional visual clarity cues (e.g. icons, bolding, highlighting, color-coding) might you add to the graphic organizer to clarify concepts and to direct attention to key details?
Color-coding the choices on a graphic organizer with green being the appropriate choices and red the inappropriate choices could help the student visually see differences. (See decision tree above). Or, select colors that are less traditional yet very meaningful for the student (e.g., she loves purple = appropriate responses and hates orange = inappropriate responses).
