[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There were parents who complained in the past. I am not sure what the room looked like but I got the impression it was a classroom space with little to nothing in it. Some kids become so angry they could hurt themselves while raging. I 
believe they stopped using any form of isolation or seclusion now and just do like a pp mentioned - clear the classroom the child is in.

Yes, someone in the school needs to know how to restrain a child because it really happens they become out of control. This doesn't feel good to the child who likely doesn't want to be out of control but feels so overwhelmed they can't stop themselves.

TBH I think the pendulum has swung too far and the push for inclusiveness harms all the children involved in the incidents. I do think we need more specialized aids and teachers specifically trained to deal with situations and to be able to evaluate situations for possible overwhelm and then have a place they can take the child to prevent that from happening.  A pp mentioned a sensory room where students can using calming techniques for example. Or maybe there needs to be a mid tier class - something between mainstream and self contained - a smaller class size with easy access to a calming environment room and more classroom aids.

Most school systems do have all sorts of programs available. Thing is until your kid needs it you really don’t learn about them. [/quote]
