Roles of CCCW Interdisciplinary Teams, CCCW Behavior Support Oversight Committee (BSOC), and DHS/DLTS Restrictive Measures Approval Process (what needs to be included).

D ISCLAIMER We are putting the cart before the horse. Prior to even thinking about restrictive measures, we need to have a behavior support plan in place. Data documenting effectiveness or ineffectiveness. Restrictive measures are the last resort option.

P ROACTIVE S UPPORT P LANS Designed to prevent the likelihood of negative, maladaptive behaviors from emerging, and places focus on positive behaviors, one’s strengths, and abilities. Create an environment that is conducive of safe learning and expression, residents feel more comfortable and are more likely to respond favorably to staff support. Evolve with the individual and are updated routinely as we learn more about each person’s abilities, improvement in certain life areas, and effective interventions and interactions.

P ROACTIVE S UPPORT P LANS Is the big picture plan. How do we support the individual throughout the day - not just during crisis? More importantly, how do we assist the individual in being more independent, by assisting in modifying behaviors? Very clear step-by-step for consistency.

B EHAVIOR S UPPORT P LANS Specific to each individual behavior. Define the behavior (what does it look like). Precursors, onset, severity, how often it occurs, how long will it last - conclusion of the behaviors. Identified function of the behavior. Proactive prevention of behavior. Management of the behavior.
