Section outline

  • This Module will explore the use of restraints. Restraints should only be used in an emergency with extreme caution after the failure of less restrictive alternatives (such as positive behavior supports, verbal and non-verbal de-escalation, and environmental modifications). Or, after making a determination that such alternatives would be inappropriate or ineffective under the circumstances.

    An Emergency Situation means a situation in which there is probable imminent threat of bodily injury to self or others, with the present ability to affect such bodily injury. Emergency includes situations in which the student creates such a threat by abusing or destroying property.
