Who is authorized to implement PCM strategies and procedures? - ANSWER

What is PCM NOT? - ANSWER It is a crisis management system, NOT a treatment
system
Restraint- - ANSWER holding of an individual with the intention of preventing the
continued display of a particular crisis behavior
Feedback- - ANSWER delivering immediate and detailed information to an
individual after a crisis behavior has been displayed
, Shaping- - ANSWER Repeated reinforcements of small improvements or steps
toward a new or different behavior
Basic Practitioner - ANSWER Authorized to practice all of the PCM nonphysical
strategies
Practitioner - ANSWER Authorized to use all nonphysical intervention, personal
safety, and transportation procedures
Practitioner 1 - ANSWER Authorized to use all nonphysical interventions, personal
safety, transportation procedures, and vertical immobilization
Practitioner 2 (P) - ANSWER Authorized to use all nonphysical interventions,
personal safety, transportation procedures, vertical immobilization, and prone
