Sec. 1-126.
"Seclusion" means the sequestration by placement of a
recipient alone in a room which he has no means of leaving. The
restriction of a recipient to a given area or room as part of a behavior
modification program which has been authorized pursuant to his individual
services plan shall not constitute seclusion, provided that such
restriction does not exceed any continuous period in excess of two hours
nor any periods which total more than four hours in any twenty-four hour
period and that the duration, nature and purposes of each such restriction
are promptly documented in the recipient's record.
