Coalition to End Isolation and Reduce Restraint
We all benefit when educators have effective strategies to address challenging behaviors in the classroom.
Isolation is a dangerous practice used against students when they are distressed. It can be eliminated with training and support to create safe learning spaces.
Restraint means using physical holds to prevent student movement when a student is likely to harm themselves or others. Restraint can often be prevented with training and support for staff and students. There are certain types of restraint that should never be used because they can interfere with breathing and cause injury or death.
