[QUOTE="HMBgal, post: 699194, member: 13260"] My district does a form of safety training. They teach you steps and what to look for at different parts of the melt-down--ramping up, full-blown, then coming down. There are different techniques for each stage. We hardly every use restraint unless it's going to be a 911 emergency. Even if a kid of is eloping and goes into a street, we can't stop them. We have to stop traffic, call the police, and stay there shielding the student with our bodies. If they are tossing a room, we clear the other students out and let them have at it. If they flop down and start screaming, we just stay with them. I don't know. It's a very controversial topic in my school district and it's complicated. But you can ask the school personnel what they do, because if they don't have a plan, it won't go well. They need to be able to share with you what they do. And even when they do have a plan, sometimes it doesn't seem very intuitive. Why on earth would you let a student run into a street. It's not even common sense. [/QUOTE]
