Senate HELP Committee Hearing On Restraint and Seclusion
Today, Senator Tom Harkin held a hearing with the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee on restraint and seclusion in America's schools:
Sen. Harkin began the discussion by acknowledging that too many U.S. students “have access to the school building, but lack access to the instruction.” He said there were proven alternatives to restraint and seclusion, including practices that promote positive behaviors for students with disabilities.
