  Seclusion Rooms are Abuse  I live in Ontario Canada in a small
town called Thessalon. I had a incident with my son at school.
He is 6 years old, in grade 1 and high functioning autistic. The
day after Thanksgiving in October I was called in and by the
time I got to the school they said he was up at the office, when
I got to the office the principle told me that she didn't
believe that this was a meltdown and that it was a behaviour,
which I still think she's an idiot for saying that about my son
and she's clueless to who he actually is. Anyways then she began
to tell me that my son was in the Calming Room so that he would
not be put on ''display'' or ''trampled.'' Now where in the
guidelines is that nessecary to put a child in a seclusion room.
Anyways I made a facebook group letting people know that those
rooms exist and sure enough got a call on my cell phone from the
school board. They said that room would not be used for any of
the children which is what I wanted and I voluntarily said I
would shut down
