"Shouldn't School Be Safe?"
For parents concerned that their child is experiencing restraint or seclusion at school, information can be hard to come by. Now a new guide is offering practical advice for dealing with the issue. A 23-page document being put out by the disability advocacy group TASH is designed to give parents a straightforward look at the steps they can take to prevent the use of restraint & seclusion, identify if it's occurring & react. The guide offers specific recommendations on the type of language that should & should not be included in a student's individualized education program, or IEP, & advice on spotting signs of restraint & seclusion even if a child is unable to talk about it. The Guide can be found at http://tash.org/tash-offers-free-parent-guide-on-restraint-and-seclusion-%E2%80%98shouldn%E2%80%99t-school-be-safe%E2%80%99/
