Restraint, Seclusion and Implementation of Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports

Abstract Details

2021, Specialist in Education (Ed.S.), University of Dayton, School Psychology.
Restraint and Seclusion (R&S) within the school setting is a practice that can cause immense physical and emotional harm for students if done incorrectly. Many districts implement Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), which help stop problem behaviors before they happen, and can minimize the need for R&S. This quantitative study examined if Ohio districts utilizing PBIS showed a significant difference in the frequencies of R&S reported over the course of a school year. Participants included all of the 23 school districts in Ohio’s Montgomery and Greene counties. Data collected included 1) the frequencies of R&S the district reported for the 2016-2017 school year, 2) if the district was implementing a PBIS program adhering to Ohio’s Revised Code, and 3) what specific components of PBIS each district was implementing. Analysis of this data revealed that school districts within Montgomery and Greene counties who were not implementing PBIS reported significantly fewer frequencies of R&S during the 2016-2017 school year than school districts implementing PBIS. This unexpected finding is not consistent with the current research surrounding R&S and PBIS. Implications for this finding, as well as possible rational are discussed in this thesis.
