"ODE has provided a model prevention and reporting policy for schools to adopt. Prevention is key. If we see an unusual number of incidences of restraint or seclusion, we would contact the district to ensure their data is correct, and make sure they are aware of the resources available to help them implement Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports. We will be doing an analysis of the recent data – looking for trends, and areas for technical assistance for districts, schools, parents and the community on how to prevent the use of restraint or seclusion in the first place. We continue to reach out to districts to help them understand their reporting requirement and the resources available to them reduce the use of restraint and seclusion."
