Threat, pressure, sensory load and focus can mean different things to different people. In K1K9’s editorial framework, these terms are prompts for clearer discussion, not diagnoses or a universal scientific classification. Instead of writing only “more pressure,” describe the relevant conditions and the behavior actually observed. Keep an interpretation separate from that description so another professional can understand the reasoning.
A shared vocabulary does not require everyone to agree immediately. It gives the team a way to locate disagreement and decide what needs further review. Clear language is part of clear feedback.
