[QUOTE="Andy, post: 151608, member: 5096"] First, I would take difficult child to your regular doctor. Get this injury documented in her medical record. Talking to the doctor will help - if the doctor thinks this is serious enough ask for a copy of the medical report to give to the school board asking them to explain why this was allowed. There should never be an open window without a screen preventing anyone to fall out. Second, Pushing and shoving is not a step in restraining someone. I have a job at a facility where every staff (even non-direct care like myself) need to be trained in Theraputic Intervention. We are required to retrain every year. We are taught steps from least intrusive (talk the person down) to the actual restraining of a person. We have never been told to shove anyone to a wall or the floor. There are proper techniques that may need more than one person to take a person to the floor without injury to them or you. The techiques for children may be different but I would bet anything it would never call for pushing or shoving. I would think this is grounds to ask the facility what their Theraputic Intervention procedures are. When parents cause serious injuries, they get in trouble - so should schools. An accident is an accident but when restraining techniques cause injuries, they should also be investigated on a case by case to see if everything was done properly and if the procedure can be improved to prevent future injuries.
