First of all, let's be clear about terms---how do YOU define restraint and

seclusion? " Restraint " is defined as a method of restricting an individual's

freedom of movement, physical activity or normal access to his or her body.

The term is often used to address three different types of restraint

strategies: using mechanical devices or objects to restraint a person's

movement (handcuffs as one example), using chemicals which have the effect

of restraining movement (for example psychotropic medications), or having

one or more other person prevent movement by holding another (often called

physical restraint).
