[QUOTE="slsh, post: 323836, member: 8"] Pepperidge - "time out" rooms were used frequently with- my difficult child, mainly due to violent/aggressive behavior. It was a safety issue and he had to be removed. There are strict rules in IL sped law about use and supervision of these rooms. You might want to check in your state sped law to see if they address use of "time out" rooms. You also might want to check to see if there are any "best practices" regarding the use of positive behavioral interventions. Our state has them and our local district has implemented them in all schools now, not just for sped kids. Quite frankly, it sounds like when staff gets frustrated with- your difficult child's noncompliance, they're removing him so they get a break. in my humble opinion, a totally inappropriate use of isolation. From a purely practical standpoint, in what parallel universe do they think that difficult child "thinking" about the situation is going to fix it? It just doesn't work that way. I wonder if a functional behavioral analysis might be helpful - what triggers him (and what triggers the teacher to have him removed from class)? What are some nonpunitive strategies to keep him in class and get him to do the work? Or at the very least, keep him in class not doing the work (is he disruptive or just noncompliant)? I believe that learning can take place even if they child isn't actually doing the work - by removing your son from the classroom, they completely eliminate any possibility of learning. Isolation for refusing to do work is really pretty extreme to my eye. [/QUOTE]
