[quote=Anonymous]This is a huge problem for my child. He has been put in this type of room in MCPS. For him, they escalate his behavior. Very few people would be able to calm down while stuck in a small room with someone holding the door shut on them and starting at them through a window. As an adult, I would just get angrier and angrier if I was asking for space and respect and the only thing I would get would be someone starting at me and writing down every word as I try to escape. This is how my son describes it. He wants to Deescalate but the scenario is one that makes him do the opposite. He’s so stressed and trying to escape that there of no calming down. For my child, the reason a bedroom works for him at home is that he has the space to calm down. If he were being watched and stared at, her would not be able to effectively use that strategy. For my DS (11), he does much better with options such as being in a quiet corner and listening to music or pacing the school. [/quote]
