[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 333586, member: 1233"] FAPE is Free and Appropriate Public Education. Seclusion for throwing paper? I would be ALL over that teacher and school. there would have to be HOURS of tantrum before my son's school would consider seclusion. We don't even have in school suspension until Jr High here. THAT is used rarely. Our school believes in helping the kids learn to control themselves. NOT sticking them alone in a room out of site. Cause what do they learn from that? At BEST they learn they can get out of doing work by doing the behavior that got them sent to seclusion. They can learn a lot of worse things, like they are not good enough to be with other kids. When Wiz was in the psychiatric hospital he was ONCE put in the "alone room" for a while. JUST until he calmed down. He was alone in the room but they had cameras so they could monitor the child at all times. As soon as he calmed down and stopped trying to attack people he was taken out and went to talk with the therapist about what was going on. He liked being alone, has always needed time with no one around even before he could roll over he needed it and would scream if he didn't get it. As soon as he learned that they had a camera on him while he was in there he refused to act out enough to be put in there. The behavior before the seclusion was calculated to get that time in the "alone" room. The terd. Once the therapist knew this, and I explained his need for time alone, they let him have 45 mins a day alone in his room. He didn't HAVE to do this, but he could if he wanted. I do not think seclusion is a useful tool for schools. I would object greatly to the use of this for any disciplinary purpose. [/QUOTE]
