SUPPORTING STUDENT BEHAVIOR:Standards for the Emergency Use of Seclusion and Restraint

Nothing in this policy is intended to conflict with or limit the use of the “reasonable physical force” permitted in Act 451 of 1976, Section 1312(4), otherwise known as the Corporal Punishment Act.

Page 18: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

Positive Behavior SupportsPositive Behavior Supports

the most effective strategies for supporting positive student behavior begin with meaningful instruction

provided by highly trained professionals in a safe environment which promotes dignity for all students;

school-wide systems of positive behavioral support to address challenging behavior will increase instructional time for all; and

seclusion or restraint should be used only in an emergency and requires diligent assessment, monitoring,documentation, and reporting by trained personnel

Page 19: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

PBS emphasizes behavior that encourages learning by:

building relationships; creating routines; teaching skills/rules/expectations; identifying replacement behaviors for behaviors thatinterfere with learning; making problem behavior less effective, efficient, andrelevant; and making the desired behavior more functional andadaptive.

Page 20: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

A. Training Framework

A comprehensive training framework includes:

awareness training for the broader educational community,

including pre-service training for all teachers;

awareness training for substitute teachers; and

comprehensive training for key identified personnel

Page 21: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

B. Training Components

All training must include: proactive practices and strategies that ensure the:

dignity of students; conflict resolution; mediation; social skills training; de-escalation techniques

Impact of School-wide PBS on Seclusion and Restraint

Implementation of a school-wide system will ensure that seclusion and restraint are used only as a last resort method. Encourages learning by building relationships; Teaches skills/rules/expectations; Identifies replacement behaviors that interfere

with learning; Makes problem behavior less effective; Makes desired behavior more functional and

adaptive.

Are classroom response cost systems

contributing to defiance and aggression? Response to Intervention Are we using evidenced based classroom behavior

management systems at the universal level? Are classroom response cost systems evidenced based? Is there a balance, better yet, an overbalance of Positive Incentives and Feedback for Desired Behavior?

When universal consequences (e.g., Classroom Response Cost System) are not effective, or when they trigger an escalation of behavior, do we differentiate our approach?

Are we over-relying on classroom response cost systems to manage student behaviors?

Where it Comes From…

Aggressive behavior is learned and maintained in a manner similar to other behaviors.

Three important factors to consider include modeling, positive reinforcement, and negative reinforcement.

Aggressive students often exhibit deficits in social information processing-I.e. often misinterpreting social cues and misassigning hostile intent to others

Page 31: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

Understanding Aggressive Behaviors Reactive Aggression

Affective or expressive aggression Loss of control and emotional flooding Emotions are dominant

Proactive Aggression Instrumental or operant aggression Goal oriented Cognitions are dominant

Present the expected behavior and logical consequence as a decision and place responsibility on the student.

Always lead with the positive outcome that will occur if the student make the choice to calm down or follow directions.

Allow a few seconds for the student to decide. Withdraw from the student and attend to other

students. Limit direct eye-contact. Follow though with limits established.

What is restraint? What is physical management? What is physical assistance? What is a physical escort? What is mechanical restraint? What is seclusion? What is time-out? What is an emergency? What is imminent danger?

Page 88: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

Use of Emergency Restraint

A behavior that requires immediate intervention constitutes an emergency. Emergency restraint must be used only under emergency situations and if essential. An emergency that may require the use of restraint includes behavior that: poses an imminent risk to the safety of an individual student; poses an imminent risk to the safety of

others; or is otherwise governed by The Revised School Code, 1976 PA 451, otherwise known as the Corporal

Punishment Act.

Page 89: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

Physical Restraint involves direct physical contact

that prevents or significantly restricts a student’s movement. Restraint is a last resort emergency safety

intervention. Restraint is an opportunity for the student to regain self-control. This policy on physical

restraint is not intended to forbid actions undertaken: to break up a fight; to take a weapon away from a student; as the brief holding by an adult in order to calm or comfort; as the minimum contact necessary to physically escort a student from one area to another;

to assist a student in completing a task/response if the student does not resist or resistance is minimal in intensity or duration; or

to hold a student for a brief time in order to prevent an impulsive behavior that threatens the student’s immediate safety (e.g., running in front of a car).

Page 90: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

Mechanical Restraint

means the use of any device, article, garment, or material attached to or adjacent to a student’s body that restricts normal freedom of movement and that cannot be easily removed by a student.

Mechanical restraint does not include: an adaptive or protective device recommended by

a physician or therapist (when it is used as recommended); or safety equipment used by the

general student population as intended (for example, seat belts, safety harness on school transportation).

Page 91: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

An LEA must ensure that substitute teachers are informed of all local emergency procedures, including the emergency use of seclusion and restraint.

Use of Physical Force under the Corporal Punishment Statute

In maintaining order and control, a person may use physical force upon a student: To restrain or remove a pupil whose behavior is

interfering with the orderly exercise and performance of school functions if the pupil has refused to comply

For self-defense or defense of another To prevent a student from inflicting harm on self To quell a disturbance that threatens physical injury To obtain possession of a weapon or other dangerous

object To protect property

Trigger = a pattern of behavior requiring the use of restraint

Documented steps for EIP: Detail the emergency plan Ask if a known medical condition contraindicates

restraint Conduct peer review by knowledgeable staff

Emergency Intervention Plan (EIP)for Restraint

Page 95: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

Duration

Seclusion: No longer than needed

to allow student to regain control

Elementary = no more than 15 minutes

Middle / High School= no more than 20 minutes

If more time is needed, add support staff and document to explain time extension

Restraint: No longer than needed

to allow student to regain control, but generally no longer than 10 minutes

If more time is needed, add support staff and document to explain time extension

Page 96: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

Documentation and Reporting

Seclusion: Document each use of

seclusion and reason for use

Document in writing and report immediately to building administrator

Verbally report to parent/guardian immediately or ASAP

Provide written report to parent within 24 hours

Restraint: Document each use of

seclusion and reason for use

Document in writing and report immediately to building administrator

Verbally report to parent/guardian immediately or ASAP

Provide written report to parent within 24 hours

Page 97: STEVE VITTO NSU DIFFUSION, DE-ESCALATION AND APPROVE RESTRAINT

Best Practice

If you are going to put your hands on a student to move them against their will, or to inhibit their movement, it should only be when that student is presenting a physical danger to others, or is severely disrupting the school environment.
