@MarklundCharity to be clear. You do not speak on behalf of all high support needs kids. My autistic non speaking son’s SIB decreased 100% when we removed him from a “school” just like yours & placed him in a school that doesn’t use prone restraint or seclusion. I HAVE THE DATA

High support needs autistic & ND people don’t need YOU talking over them. They’ve got this. ONLY people who should be testifying about high support needs disabled people are THEM; survivors of restraint and seclusion abuse. #nothingaboutuswithoutus

I asked my nonspeaking aut son permission to post this. The resource room was the seclusion cell w/which they tortured him daily. Tapping index fingers together means HURT in ASL. He may not have your speech skills, but he comes through loud & clear here #nothingaboutuswithoutus
