[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He was not restrained because of his disability. He was restrained because of his actions on the bus. [/quote] The child is autistic. His actions were consistent with the type of disability he has. Anyone trained in Special Education would know that yelling at a child having a meltdown would make the child’s behavior worse. There should have been 2 professionals on the bus - the bus driver and a paraeducator. The paraeducator is there to meet the child’s needs while the driver drives the bus. The paraeducator should have been the one figuring out what the child was trying to communicate.[/quote] +1 This. The paraeducator was clearly not qualified. The school is bearing the ramification of not having properly trained staff.[/quote]
