Severinus: Fewer incidents due to personalization

Challenge

Severinus works with intellectual disabled individuals, some of whom are prone to escalation and aggression. Special cases required nuanced de-escalation, while the rest of the clients at Severinus could benefit from a preventative approach to managing aggression.

‍

Solution

The de-escalation capabilities of the CoWin were a perfect match for the situation that the care providers were facing. They were enthusiastic to tailor the CoWins to the needs of the specific clients and put the preventative efforts to work.

‍

Impact

The personalization of the devices allowed for a matching of each individual clients signaling plans. The mix of stimulating and calming applications helped meet the needs of each client at any stage of their escalation. Due to this, there is less tension among clients and staff alike, leading to less incidents and pressure on the staff.
