NYSED Update: Behavioral Supports and Interventions
This course will review and examine the updates to:
The amendment of Section 19.5 of its NYSED Rules of the Board of Regents, and changes to Commissioner’s Regulations Sections 100.2, 200.1, 200.7, 200.15, and 200.22 regarding the prohibition of corporal punishment, aversive interventions, prone restraint, and seclusion; permitted use of timeout and restraint; data collection; and changes to Part 200 of the Commissioner’s Regulations relating to Students with Disabilities to secure alignment with Section 19.5.
These provisions were revised to ensure student health and safety by strengthening the authority of the New York State Education Department (NYSED) to ensure that behavioral supports and interventions are used safely, carried out in accordance with research-based practices, and with the highest standards of oversight, monitoring, and data collection.
At the end of this course you will receive a certificate of completion to provide your school district personnel.
