Exposure increases anxiety, as does lack of interaction.  
Students need routines.
#2 Differentiate further when possible.  Provide coping skills and opportunities for discussion.  Meditation may be incorporated to help students focus.
#3 Add success with students by building better relationships.  Students need to feel safe in school.  Structure the environment and maintain routines to have a consistent 'normal'.
