Round 4: To Use Restraints or Not to Use Restraints? That is the question.

Welcome to ABA Ultimate Showdown - a podcast promoting constructive, respectful, and professional discourse to advance the field of behavior analysis.

Round 4 of the Showdown attempts to respectfully cover the much debated topic of restraints. Since this topic is so controversial within and outside of our field, we were very careful about our wording and opinions. We cover primarily mechanical and physical restraints and whether or not it’s appropriate to use on our clients to keep them and their surrounding family and staff safe.

A lot of women hours went into researching, collaborating, publishing, and editing this episode. During this debate, we construct arguments for both sides to present the audience with a comprehensive and balanced view.
