holding - ANSA team of two staff reacts in unison and sits on either side of the individual and
places their outer-most hand above the person's elbow and then their inner-most arm along
the inside of the individual's arm and their hand over the wrist of the individual. At the same
time they move to a supportive seated stance and put their outer-most leg out to the side to
provide stability while their inner-most leg is up against the individual's. They then move to
