Upcoming Live Events

  • Redefining Crisis Prevention - A Systematic Approach to Reducing Restraint

    July 20 at 2 p.m. Eastern Time

    When a physical management incident occurs, most teams are focused on keeping everyone safe in the moment. But how often does your organization examine what's driving how long those incidents last? In this Safety-Care Live session, Melissa Meotti, BCBA breaks down a systematic approach to reducing physical management from both ends: prevention strategies that reduce how often incidents occur, including modifying the environment, functional communication training, and non-contingent reinforcement, and evidence-based fading procedures that reduce how long they last when they do. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of Fixed-Time Release, the research behind it, and concrete steps they can bring back to their teams at the prevention, during-crisis, and systems levels.
