Title:

CCIDS- Research on the Use of Restraint, Seclusion, and Isolation

Data has shown that within Maine and on a national scale, children who have disabilities or special healthcare needs are more often restrained, secluded, and isolated. This is unfortunate as research demonstrates that these incidents are often quite ineffective, harmful, and potentially fatal. There has been a number of intervention methods used to reduce restraint, isolation, and seclusion. Therapeutic Crisis Intervention (TCI) has been deemed promising in reducing these incidents, reducing staff injuries, and as legitimate crisis management approach. This project is gathering data to analyze whether increased supports for TCI intervention has an impact on these incidents, staff moods, time lost per injury, and staff retention. This is an ongoing project that will conclude later this year around September 2021.
