RE: policies on discipline in institutions

["Rebecca Shaw" <drbeccamarie@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Residential treatment centers, group homes, and foster care homes licensed 
in each state are governed by State licensing boards.  The boards have 
regulations about restraints and degree of discipline allowed in each 
setting.  It might be helpful to contact each state licensing board and 
obtain a copy of their licensing regulations.
