[QUOTE="slsh, post: 265753, member: 8"] Shari - I would check your state's statutes re: the use of the safe room. I think he was inappropriately placed in it. My understanding is that it is to be used if child is a danger to self or others - it is *not* to be used as punishment, which it sure sounds like it was today. He hit the wall 39 times. Did staff intervene to prevent self-injury? Where were the deescalation techniques by staff? Exactly *how* long was he in there? What are the guidelines in your state regarding how long a child may be placed in a quiet room? Also, what are the notification requirements? It's been a while, but in IL when thank you was a frequent visitor to quiet rooms, I believe the rule was I had to be notified in writing within 24 hours. I think they are significantly abusing the use of the quiet room and more importantly, causing your son harm. There was nothing whatsoever therapeutic, educational, or healthy about the *staff's* actions today. They are doing *nothing* to promote his education and are still in my very strong opinion setting school up to be a bad bad bad experience for him. This coupled with their continued failure to provide him with FAPE (again, just my opinion, but those shortened days just do *not* fly in my book)... well, I admire your self-control. It's time to request a change in placement, in my humble opinion. No question these behaviors are a result of his disability and therefore are not expellable offenses. But I just don't see that they are doing a whole lot to try to manage his behaviors. If they're going to flip out everytime he let's loose with a verbal threat (at the ripe old age of 7), then it's pretty apparent they have absolutely no business having any contact with him whatsoever. I'm really sorry you guys are going thru this. You have bent over backwards to try to accommodate them, when in fact they should have been educating your son with- accommodations. I'm just totally on fire that they are continuing this garbage. A very gentle hug to you and to difficult child. How is he doing this afternoon? Poor baby.. :( [/QUOTE]
