Parent Speaker Series Continues - 'Restraint and Seclusion,' Nov. 18 in Wallingford
The workshop presentation is free!
“Restraint and Seclusion”
There’s a lot of discussion about the use of restraint and seclusion as tools to manage challenging behaviors at school.
Come and learn about what restraint and seclusion are and are not, the rules about when they can be used and what strategies should be implemented prior to even considering the use of restraint and seclusion as a means of protecting a child from harming themselves or others.
