[QUOTE="slsh, post: 145255, member: 8"] Ahh Beth.... hugs to you, hon. This journey sure does inhale forcefully the stuffing out of us sometimes. Marks on our kids - something I pointed out but not something I got real assertive about when thank you was in therapeutic school and also Residential Treatment Center (RTC) #2. Hindsight being 20/20, I was completely wrong and I would raise holy heck about this now. These people are supposed to be trained in therapeutic restraints. Restraining a child who is cursing is not a restraint, it's abuse in my humble opinion. Restraints should be a last resort and *only* if the child presents a physical danger to himself or others. I'd document marks, tell them this is the *last* time it will ever happen, and demand immediate retraining in appropriate restraint techniques for all staff involved in his education. Our kids have the right to be safe. Are medications prescribed by a doctor affiliated with school? Sorry - I'm confused (normal state ;) ). Sounds like school is adding diagnoses and adding medications? I'd agree that if you can swing an independent evaluation, it might help to get a different perspective on things. I've got to get to work or I'd look this up for you - check the NY Dept of Ed or whatever they call themselves for policies re: positive behavioral intervention strategies. A lot of states are now putting out "best practice" policies and specifically addressing PBIS. Reaction-based intervention is never going to work, as you obviously know, because the horse has not only left the barn but it's in the next county by the time staff "reacts".
