(1) Case Plan: A case plan is a formal plan with prescribed Interventions and documentation requirements and is a tool to assist staff in managing cases, setting goals and reviewing YICs' Interventions and progress.

(7) Safety Program: An intensive, YIC-specific, time-limited Intervention that modifies a YIC's activities to focus on developing the YIC's emotion regulation and problem-solving skills.

(8) Security Restraints: Devices used to restrict physical activity. Security restraints include, but are not limited to, handcuffs and leg irons.

(9) Time-out: A staff-supported, or YIC-requested, Intervention that helps a YIC emotionally re-regulate by separating the YIC from peers for a short period of time.
