Autism National Committee 2010 Conference
Call to Action: Ask Congress to protect children from abusive interventions Across America, schoolchildren are placed in restraints and confined in seclusion rooms that are locked or from which they cannot exit. Children are injured, traumatized, and have died. In March, the House of Representatives passed the Keeping All Students Safe in School Act. Now the Senate must pass the companion bill, which has been introduced as the Preventing Harmful Restraint And Seclusion in Schools Act (S.2860). Click on the link above for AutCom's statement.
