Handle With Care®
All of Coastal Learning Center’s staff is trained in the following program to ensure that the care of each individual attending our school is in the proper care.
Practical & Effective
HWC consists of practical easy-to-learn techniques and methods that have been tested and proven to work with the most challenging children and adults, including those with special cognitive, emotional and/or physical needs.
Patented & Proprietary
Over 40 years of continuous research, development and practical application have made HWC the safest and most powerful verbal and physical intervention system in the world. HWC’s proprietary single-person holding method, the Primary Restraint Technique® (or PRT®) is the first and only physical technique of any kind ever granted a Patent by the U.S. Patent Office (“Apparatus and method for safely maintaining a restraining hold on a person”). The PRT has standing, seated, prone and supine configurations to satisfy your State’s laws and regulatory demands. Our specially engineered therapeutic hold for smaller children enables an adult to manage and safely hold episodically violent children as young as three.
Definitive Vs. Tentative Touch
HWC Creates a Calm Mind Faster. Tentative touch overstimulates, excites and further agitates. HWC’s holding methods are engineered to be definitive, comfortable and secure. When your staff is confident and well trained in HWC’s verbal de-escalation and physical holding methods, you will experience a significant reduction in the overall number of restraints, a reduction in physical holding times and a reduction in injuries to all concerned. Our holding methods for children and adults communicate calmness, and produce a more rapid return to a calm mind state, emotional homeostasis and equilibrium.
