OOL_0084 The Use Of Seclusion And Restraint In Schools

Annie Friday is joined this week by Guy Stephens, Executive Director for the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint. Guy shares some basics to what seclusion and restraint is, how they are used in schools, who is being hurt most, and the many variations of how scenarios can play out for young people, families, and educators. Guy and his organization are hoping that through their resources like their upcoming Beyond Behaviorism conference, their open book clubs, their live bi-monthly podcast, and their advocacy support, more educators and families will lean on the neuroscience, nervous system research, and relationship-centered strategies to address the unmet needs and lagging skills of the young people being otherwise subjected to these outdated and dangerous methods.
