Current through Register Vol. 51, page 43, September 23, 2024

The ICF/IID shall specify all behaviors and approved plans on a hierarchy from most positive to most restrictive. Prior to the development and implementation of a behavior treatment plan, records of maladaptive behaviors shall be maintained. These records shall document a functional assessment of behavior and the frequency and duration of the behavior.

The ISP of a person supported who exhibits maladaptive behavior must include provisions to teach the person the circumstances, if any, under which the behavior can be exhibited adaptively; to teach the person how to channel the behavior into similar but adaptive expressions; or to replace the behavior with behavior that is adaptive. Prior to the use of more restrictive procedures, the person's record must document that strategies incorporating the use of less restrictive procedures have been tried systematically and demonstrated to be ineffective.

Highly restrictive procedures may be used only in conjunction with positive behavioral procedures.
