So obscure it has to be written down?!

for more info. It just blows my mind that these techniques are still used. But hell, our children are disposable anyway. Just ask Senator Benge. Also I like this "Repeated use of restraints or seclusion should be viewed as the failure of educational programming and the likelihood that supports, educational methodologies, and placement are inadequate. "
The Declaration states (and yes, people do this all the time still, but we can't complain, they're FIXING OUR KIDS):

5. Certain techniques are so harmful and dangerous, and an affront to human rights and dignity, that they should be banned outright.

a. Mechanical restraints and prone restraints (e.g., with a child face down) should never be used. Movement limitation may never be used as a punishment or as a substitute for appropriate educational support.

b. Aversive techniques should never be used on children as planned consequences of behavior or symptoms. No child should be subjected to pain or noxious stimuli, such as electric skin shock, ice applications, hitting, slapping, pinching, kicking, hurling, strangling, shoving, deep muscle squeezes, use of noxious inhalants or unpleasant tastes, loud noises, or other similar stimuli. Meals may not be withheld and children should never receive limited nutrition or hydration, or food or drink that is intentionally altered to make it distasteful. Clothing and shelter may not be withheld as part of a behavior control method.

c. A child should never be locked in a room, closet, box, or other place, or put in another place from which the child cannot freely exit. A child may be placed in an appropriate locked, safe confined space if there is an absolute emergency because the child possesses a dangerous weapon or otherwise poses an imminent danger of serious bodily harm to self or others. In such a situation, a child may be placed in locked confinement only while awaiting the arrival of law enforcement or crisis intervention personnel; and the child must be continuously observed by an adult for the entire period of the locked confinement. COPAA does not support the use of rooms from which children cannot exit for time-out or any other situations.

d. If a child is placed in such a locked, safe space, parents must be immediately informed in writing, including the specific danger involved, and all circumstances surrounding the event, including the action taken. This must also be placed in the child’s educational record. Parents must receive their procedural safeguards and the child should receive a comprehensive functional behavioral assessment.
