The PACT recertification curriculum emphasizes the use of the positive approach to providing supports as the most effective approach in assisting people to learn to manage their challenging behavior. By focusing on such areas as communication, boundaries, relationships, attitude, stress and problem solving, supporters will learn ways of offering support that can decrease some of the “lose-lose” situations that lead to physical harm and injury.

One-third of the PACT recertification curriculum addresses the supporters’ response to crisis, including physical interaction techniques that focus on maximum safety, dignity and respect for all. The curriculum incorporates the state of Maine regulations governing the use of restraints and behavioral techniques as well as all applicable laws surrounding the rights of people with disabilities.
