Do you have any resources or advice as to how to include restraint/seclusion wording into the IEP if appropriate?
Answer
I wouldn't necessarily use those words in the IEP. I would focus instead on the action that the staff is going to take should a student become a threat to himself or others. I would then walk through each step in the IEP. These steps should be detailed in a behavior intervention plan. The most appropriate person to lead this discussion would be a Board Certified Behavior Analyst or a BCBA.
