[QUOTE="Star*, post: 151958, member: 4964"] My son was physically restrained one time - and knocked out cold. The staff refused to acknowledge there was any wrong doing. I demaned the tape be reviewed, and took my son to the ER for xrays - the tape showed a staff member hitting my sons head against the wall. Staff member was fired. My son has had several physical restraints. Unfortunately some people learn these techniques and can't "wait" to try them out on the first kid who is outta line. I learned them too for safety for him and myself in our home. I've NEVER left a bruise. The technique you describe should not have left a bruise. The advice to get a doctors written statement, is in line. The request to your school to place cameras in the room and tape daily? Is in line. You can also contact an advocacy group called Protection and Advocacy for Disabled people. They have about the best group of know it all's I've ever met. If something can be done they are the ones to call. In the mean time - I would write a letter to the principal of this school, include a copy of the dr.'s letter, and explain that you will be checking your daughter daily before and after school for marks. Send it registered with signature card and start a file. Also....as an afterthought. My son was abused. Whenever a physical restraint was done to protect him - he flipped out worse than if no one had laid a hand on him. Eventually we told and wrote in his IEP - ABSOLUTELY NO physical restraints. Once we did this? He never needed another one. Something to keep in mind. I realize they are done for the safety of a child and other children - but we got a LOT more results with the SD hiring a Shadow to help difficult child out of the classroom whenever he saw the signs of Dude getting out of control. - Instead of being restrained and having to deal with that - we had a therapist teach him anger coping skills - we taught those to the teacher so she could have a tool to use AND if you think about it - when you are THAT angry - you rage? Would holding you down help? Or would someone saying "Come on let's go for a long walk and talk." be better? Sometimes - the walk and talk is more helpful and a lot less stressful. [/QUOTE]
