[QUOTE="mistmouse, post: 28342, member: 289"] I believe that some schools will resort to restraints every time if they are given permission to use restraint at all. As said by others, restraints should be used only for safety issues. My daughter's school also uses restraints at the drop of a hat. My daughter is restrained for noncompliance. Once restraints are used for noncompliance, it often results in aggression. So, the restraints are causing a problem that then gets my difficult child sent home. You say they have the proper training to use restraints, but it is my understanding that restraints are a part of CPI (Crisis Prevention Intervention), but that the most important part of CPI also involves therapeutic de-escalation. Seems that is lacking in your situation as well as mine. If they use their training to first de-escalate perhaps the restraints won't be needed at all. By the way, when your difficult child runs from staff do they give chase? A 6 year old can see this as a game if the adult is giving chase and will run even more and further. Just my .02 cents worth. mistmouse [/QUOTE]
