=== Postive Behavioral Supports ===
The primary way to reduce restraints in a school or district is to implement positive behavioral intervention and support (PBIS or PBS) AKA School Wide Positive Behavioral Support (SWPBS).

See: http://www.pbis.org/ <br>
and <br>
[http://www.pbis.org/seclusion/restraint/default.aspx Positive Behavioral Support Seclusion and Restraint Policy]<br>
<br>
One implementation of positive supports is called responsive classrooms. <br>
See: https://www.responsiveclassroom.org/about-responsive-classroom

=== Functional Behavioral Analysis ===
The primary way to change problem behavior of a child which may lead to a restraint is called Functional Behavioral Analysis/Assessment (FBA).
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Functional_analysis_(psychology)

FBA is sometimes considered part of Applied Behavioral Analysis (ABA) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Applied_behavior_analysis, an intervention or strategy most commonly used to help children with Autism Spectrum Disorders.

An FBA typically results in a behavior intervention plan or behavior support plan.
See: http://specialchildren.about.com/od/behavioranddiscipline/g/BIP.htm

There is significant controversy about whether restraint should be included in BIPs or IEPs. IMHO restraint should not be part of either.
