effective manner to gain positive outcomes. The service user are firstly exhibit behaviour thus
help to understand and dealt situation. Clients must be depict aggressive behaviour in order to
kicking and scratching needs thus immediately intervened by company, so that situation can be

where least restrictive practices are used, so customer's behaviour are improve in a positive way.

condition, service provider and users both are must encounter health problem while intervention
