  2. What is Behavior Management? • Behavior Management is the use of therapeutic interventions designed to change a person’s behavior. • When the interventions used involve something that is restrictive, and therefore impacts the person’s rights, a behavior management review committee must review these interventions

  3. What types of interventions are reviewed? • Intrusive techniques (observation during times which are generally private, or impinging upon personal space) • Use of token economies (points, chips, etc. given to be exchanged for something else) • Psychotropics used for behavioral control (meds prescribed to prevent harm, and not related to a mental illness) • Restrictive programs/techniques including restraints (limits rights, movement, etc.)

  4. What types of techniques are prohibited and therefore not reviewed? • Aversive Techniques (infliction of negative stimuli such as water misting, mouthwash, etc.) • Physical Management (physically restricting movement) • Restraint (use of a device to restrict movement) • Seclusion (placed in a room that one is unable to get out of

  5. What happens during a behavior management committee? • The case management/supports coordinator or plan’s author presents the behavior management plan to committee members • History of problem – frequency and severity • What previous interventions have been used • Specifics of the behavior plan – what is the goal, what are the objectives, how implemented, how evaluated including timeframes • The committee also looks for positive behavioral support to occur • Committee either approves or disapproves the plan • Committee determines next date of review – generally every 3 months
