Guidance §483.450(b)(4)
The use of behavior interventions are expected to be incorporated into the IPP and be based
upon the results of the functional behavioral assessment.
However, there may be isolated and rare instances when a client exhibits unexpected behavior
that requires immediate intervention on the part of the staff. In these instances, the least
restrictive intervention must be employed and removed as soon as the client is no longer an
immediate threat to self or others. The IPP team must then discuss the need for adding a
behavioral plan into the clients program.
