About Course

Certification De-escalation & Restraint Training Learning Modules provide participants with research and evidence-based techniques for use in de-escalating escalated students while maintaining a safe environment. Participants will acquire the knowledge needed to identify situations that may require physical restraint (emergency situations where immediate danger exists) from situations when restraint should be avoided (forced compliance or convenience). Participants will learn easily mastered physical restraint and escape techniques that do not restrict the airway and may be used to prevent students from hurting school staff, other students, or themselves.

Now that you have a good understanding of safety and restraint guidelines, it's time to learn and practice hands-on techniques. You will want to practice with another individual.

If you are participating in this course for certification, remember to schedule your Zoom meeting when you are comfortable with the techniques.

Very thorough on everything, took the course in person last year. The online course and videos do just as good of a job explaining/showing techniques.
