Project REST | Family Resource Center for Disabilities and Special Needs

Project REST (Restraint: Efficacy, Safety, & Training)

With funding from the Developmental Disabilities Council, Office of the Governor, the FRC examined the practice of using restraint on children with developmental disabilities in the public schools. After collaboration with educators, attorneys, psychologists, social workers, child advocates, and parents, Project REST developed a comprehensive guidebook to be used as a resource by parents, educators, and advocates and as a guide in developing protocols and procedures. Project REST endorses the use of Positive Behavior Support as the preferred method to change challenging behavior in children. (View the Manual of Recommended Practice)

The Family Resource Center is committed to providing access to our web pages for individuals with disabilities. The content of this site has been tested for usability and accessibility using a combination of standards-based, automated procedures and accepted heuristic methods. All web pages conform to Section 508 of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Downloadable documents have been made as accessible as possible. Fully accessible versions of individual documents can be supplied on an as-needed basis by calling 843-266-1318 or by Email: bevmccarty@frcdsn.org. We make every effort to comply with the requirements of Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act. Section 508 requires that individuals with disabilities, who are members of the public seeking information or services from us, have access to and use of information and data that is comparable to that provided to the public who are not individuals with disabilities, unless an undue burden would be imposed on us. Compliance is an ongoing process and we encourage notification when information on our website is inaccessible.
