The Professional Development in Positive Behavior Support (PBIS) grant was awarded to the Maine Support Network and Partnership of Partnerships (POP) partners in 2009. This exciting project is creating and supporting vibrant teaching and learning environments by providing professional development and direct services to SAUs in four regions of the state (Aroostook, Washington, and northern and southern Penobscot counties).
This blog was created in order to share information and resources regarding Maine law on restraint and seclusion in accordnace with Objective 5 of the grant.
Objective 5: Training will be provided for educators and providers in non-violent interventions for children with disabilities, and the proper use of restraints and time-out rooms.
Please feel free to use this blog as a resource on finding the proper use of restraint and seclusion (time out rooms) using Chapter 33 (Regulations Governing Timeout Rooms, Therapeutic Restraints and Aversives and Approved Private Schools) and the resulting action this spring of LD 1096 (An Act to Protect School Children from Dangerous or Abusive Restraint and Seclusion).
