Title: CALO and "Closeness"

Closeness

When a student is dysregulated and/or not responding to coaching, many times the student needs an intervention in order to allow the student to have their needs met. Closeness provides such an intervention and is best defined as a student needing staff assistance to regulate emotions and/or remain safe. [The short version > Physical restraint]

When a student is struggling emotionally, instead of having him/her go to “time-out” CALO allows for the student to have a “time-in” through Closeness. Closeness leverages the power of relationships by creating physical and emotional intimacy.

Does anyone see any red flags?

No!  Aren't "physical and emotional closeness" normal for adults and teenagers that are complete strangers?  I see it on the subway all the time.  And then the adult gets arrested.  That's the part missing at CALO, the arrest of the adults.

What happens at CALO if a child says, "Give me my space!"
