Executive Summary
Ukeru is a crisis management technique rooted in the belief that the use of physical restraints is unnecessary and unproductive. Ukeru believes that all intervention - educational and behavioral - should be built on an approach of comfort rather than control. Ukeru is hands off response to respond to crisis management of student behavior. Ukeru centers on a philosophy of comfort vs. control: (a) using a trauma-informed approach to create a supportive, caregiving environment sensitive to clients' past experiences of violence and victimization; (b) helps individuals thrive in the least restrictive environment consistent with achieving the best outcome; and (c) achieves the greatest impact with the least amount of disruption to an individual's routine.
The vision is to provide student's with a hands-free crisis intervention response vs a physical restraint. Ukeru will supplement Handle With Care. The special education department, based on research and consultation with other districts using Ukeru, anticipates a reduction in physical interventions and a reduction in the number of staff that will need trained with Handle With Care.
