We believe students who need #AAC and other communication supports are disproportionately restrained and secluded. This is why we joined this case as a plaintiff. It was one of our first actions as an organization. bit.ly/30TBdr4
We hope the resolution of this case will serve as a model for other districts to address the overuse of restraint and seclusion against students with disabilities.
Thanks to @BrownGoldLevy for their tremendous work on this case over the past 2.5 years!
We were so proud and honored to partner with the two nonspeaking plaintiffs, the four other plaintiffs and their families, as well as @autselfadvocacy and @COPAA, to achieve this tremendous resolution.
J.M. entered kindergarten able to communicate two-word phrases on his device. After he was repeatedly secluded, he stopped using his device, even at home. Only now, years later, is he recovering enough from the trauma to begin again to use two words together on his device.
