abuse in special ed
[edit] I think that the abuse in special education is very important to include in this article. lots of students have reported abuse and I feel that there should be more information on the abuse and overuse physical restraint of students. Whippersnapper12345 (talk) 19:15, 18 September 2023 (UTC)

- @Whippersnapper12345, all of those sources are about the same country. Country-specific information should normally go in Special education in the United States. WhatamIdoing (talk) 04:25, 20 September 2023 (UTC)
- I have done my own research and have found more claims of abuse and negative policies from all over the world.
- here are the links.

Seclusion rooms
[edit] students at school are often being locked in what are called seclusion rooms as punishment.
I think this should go somewhere in the special education article. anyone with any ideas of including this in the article should share their thoughts. Snowman680 (talk) 18:58, 11 October 2023 (UTC)
- Although we may not do a very good job of managing the US-centric bias in this article, information that is only about the US (or in this case, one small part of the US) should probably be considered for Special education in the United States, rather than the worldwide article.
- If you decided to write something about seclusion, then I suggest writing about the whole 'story': Why they exist, what benefits were expected, what the prior practice was, etc. That includes naming effective alternatives. As in: if a special-needs teen is having a violent moment and isn't allowed to go into a quiet room by themselves to calm down, what exactly is the school supposed to do to prevent harm to all the other students and staff in the building?

- seclusion room is now a redirects to padded cell I think it should be the it should be the other way around. padded cell should redirect to seclusion room Epsteindidnotkillhimself smith (talk) 19:10, 2 February 2024 (UTC)
changing the name of the padded cell article
[edit]the special education article redirects seclusion room to the padded cell article. padded cells are almost always called seclusion rooms and the name of the padded cell article should be changed to seclusion room. 172.56.201.98 (talk) 01:40, 30 March 2024 (UTC)
