U.S. Department of Education Provides Technical Assistance
Webinar on Restraint and Seclusion
On January 17, 2019, Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos announced
an initiative to examine the possible inappropriate use
of restraint and seclusion in our nation’s schools. As a part of this
initiative, the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) has partnered with the Office
of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services (OSERS) to support teachers,
school leaders, parents, and stakeholders as they work to address the
behavioral needs of children with disabilities.
One primary component of the Department’s initiative has focused on
providing technical assistance to support schools in understanding how
Section 504, Title II, and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
(IDEA) informs the development and implementation of policies governing the
use of restraint and seclusion.
To this end, OCR and OSERS are pleased to present the following webinar, Students
with Disabilities and the Use of Restraint and Seclusion in K-12 Public
Schools,
as technical assistance to both support children with
disabilities — and support the needs of those within school systems serving
students.
We hope that you will find this tool to be a helpful resource and valuable
technical assistance on how federal laws apply to the use of restraint and
seclusion. OCR and OSERS will continue to seek ways to support schools to
improve outcomes for children with disabilities and ensure access to
technical assistance and available resources.
