Initiatives to reduce the use of seclusion and restraints on people with developmental disabilities: A systematic review and quantitative synthesis
2013, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :In all studies, the visual inspection of graphs and reporting of frequency data were the main forms of data analysis. In two studies, these analyses were supplemented with ordinary least squared analyses (Allen, McDonald, Dunn, & Doyle, 1997) and non-parametric statistics (Jensen et al., 2012). All studies focused on physical or mechanical restraint reduction, with no studies being identified on seclusion reduction initiatives.
Reduction of restraint of people with intellectual disabilities: An organizational behavior management (OBM) approach
2011, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :In clinical settings where individuals exhibiting dangerous behavior are served, despite the best of efforts to prevent all restraint, restraint is sometimes necessary to prevent injuries (Luiselli, in press; Luiselli, 2009; Matson & Boisjoli, 2009). Williams (2010) classified published restraint reduction efforts as consisting of five approaches: (1) restraint fading (the systematic withdrawal of mechanical restraint typically worn continuously as protective equipment to prevent severe self-injurious behavior (e.g., Lerman, Iwata, Smith, & Vollmer, 1994; Pace, Iwata, Edwards, & McCoch, 1986); (2) staff training programs (e.g., Allen, McDonald, Dunn, & Doyle, 1997), Singh et al. (2009) and Finn and Sturmey (2009); (3) assessment and modification of antecedent conditons (e.g., Luiselli, Kane, Treml, & Young, 2000; Luiselli, Dunn, & Pace, 2005), and (4) modification of the release criterion from restraint (see Luiselli, 2009; Luiselli, Pace, & Dunn 2006; Luiselli, in press); and (5) successful treatment (e.g., Foxx & Mindl, 2007). This study adds a sixth method for restraint reduction, organizational behavior management.
Reducing and eliminating restraint of people with developmental disabilities and severe behavior disorders: An overview of recent research
2010, Research in Developmental DisabilitiesCitation Excerpt :Restraint reduction is not a recent event with behavior analysis, it is a longstanding practice in the area of restraint fading. Allen, McDonald, Dunn, and Doyle (1997) evaluated the effects of a staff training program to improve prevention and management of interventions with people exhibiting physical aggression. The program focused on understanding the aggression, primary prevention (removing known setting events associated with problem behavior), and secondary prevention (recognizing and acting on precursors to aggression, a sort of “early intervention” to prevent escalations), reactive strategies (minimal physical intervention), and post-incident support.
