This article was originally published by James Stewart on The Huffington Post on February 6, 2017Education, particularly as it relates to children with disabilities, is arguably a hotter topic than ever before.
Just last month, it was a subject of intense discussion at both the Senate hearing for the proposed Secretary of Education and in a case brought before the Supreme Court.
The Huffington Post published an editorial from Ukeru Systems’ Bonnie Zampino, highlighting the problems with restraint use and offering solutions. Bonnie, who is both the mother of a child with autism and an engagement specialist with Ukeru Systems, was inspired to write the article following recent public outcry over a viral video showing a Kentucky school official putting an eight-year-old child in handcuffs.
Bonnie’s article offers links to many studies and data sources highlighting the serious risks associated with the use of restraints, especially with children. You can view the full editorial here.
As the school year gets underway, Ukeru Systems' Bonnie Zampino shared the "10 Things Parents of Children with Autism Wish Teachers Knew" in an article published by The Huffington Post.
Bonnie is the mother of a child with autism and also works as an engagement specialist with Ukeru Systems.
