9/7/11 - 02:40 PM by Stephanie Patrick 

Current proposed legislation in the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives would expand protections from restraint and seclusion for students with disabilities in Louisiana, and across the country.
The Advocacy Center is interested in information on the use of restraint or seclusion in Louisiana schools. We suspect that numerous students with disabilities across Louisiana are being subjected to some form of restraint or seclusion to deal with noncompliant behavior, though we do not seem to get many reports. Tell us about your experiences.
