How are teachers being trained to use restraint in schools?

Questions are arising about some of the private companies that provide training for educators on the use of restraint and seclusion practices with students who have special needs in California schools. Disability advocates say the training is seen as increasingly important as educators are feeling overwhelmed by larger class sizes and fewer resources. However, there is little oversight of the companies that provide the training or recommend which techniques should be used, some say.
