A few years ago, a public outcry forced schools to re-examine their use of seclusion and restraints among students. This hour, we have a conversation with the Office of the Child Advocate about the use of restraints and seclusion in schools. We also hear from a parent of a developmentally disabled student about the challenges she faces in her child’s public school education.
GUESTS:
- Sarah Eagan - Connecticut's Child Advocate
- Angela Klonoski - Advocate and parent of a child with autism
- Ron Hager - Senior Staff Attorney for Education at the National Disability Rights Network
- Dr. Michael Powers - Director of The Center for Children with Special Needs
