No jargon. No long theories. Just clear steps, teacher-tested strategies, and ready-to-go templates that show you exactly what to do before, during, and after a student runs.
🛑 Teacher, Read This Before Your Next Elopement Incident
The radio blares your name. Your heart skips.
“Office to Gemma. Student is on the run—east door!”
You grab your walkie, leave your class, and sprint to the hallway.
Again.

And you don’t have to keep winging it.

✔️ Simple language (no heavy jargon)
✔️ Scripts you can actually use in the moment

“I just finished reading the book, and I’m truly grateful for the insight it provided. It was both important and incredibly helpful—especially as I recently had a student who became overwhelmed, cried, and eloped into the hallway. This experience reminded me how vital it is to have the right tools and understanding to support students in moments of emotional distress. I believe this book is essential reading for both special education and general education teachers, especially as many students with special needs are included in general education settings. I’m thankful for the guidance it offers in creating a more supportive and responsive learning environment for all students.”
Cheryl Chan
