| Abstract | This article reports on new statistics which show that students with disabilities and black students are most likely to be restrained or isolated in school. As part of its most recent data collection, the U.S. Department of Education's office for civil rights asked more than 72,000 public schools to report how many students were isolated or restrained for the purpose of keeping them from harming themselves, classmates, or school employees. Although such techniques most often are associated with special education, the data show they are used with all students. Among the findings: Of students with disabilities who were mechanically restrained--which might mean being handcuffed, tied down, strapped to a chair, or held with equipment for that purpose--a disproportionate share, 44 percent, were black. Only 21 percent of the overall population of students with disabilities are African-Americans. And, of all 38,792 students physically restrained by school staff members, nearly 70 percent were students with disabilities. (ERIC). |
