[QUOTE="helpangel, post: 265768, member: 7170"] Wow I'm not sure what state you're in but find an educational advocate as soon as possible. Here (MI) the only schools that have safe rooms are day treatments and there are set procedures for what happens when a child is placed in one. Angel's IEP states they should avoid using seclusion but if it is necessary I need to be contacted by phone to notify me at the time she is placed in seclusion, and they are to keep the door to the cell open at all times. The reason being that when you cage Angel and treat her like a wild animal she acts like one. She will bang her head on walls, try to strangle herself with a sock or shoelace. Today she spent all day in seclusion and teacher was on the phone with me 6 times giving me updates, followed up with a detailed report that documents every 10 minutes while she was in seclusion for me to sign and return. At any time while this was all going on if Angel requests me to come get her out; I do it. Angel knows though that under those circumstances I pick her up and we are taking a run through the crisis center to see the psychiatrist on call. Even if its a different school inside your district I think you really need to get your child in another placement because it doesn't sound like the staff at current placement is doing anything except teach this child to hate school. Wow yes I'm fighting battles but it sounds like you have a full out war on your hands. An advocate can help get you the ammo you need. [/QUOTE]
