  School District Wins in Timeout Case in Court

  I constantly get the "you agreed to the use of the room" speech. I have to constantly remind people that my son was left to fail for 7 months before an FBA was finally done, a behavior intervention plan was put into place. No interventions were tried before use of the seclusion room and we believed the room would be as a last resort and we had no idea that what happened could *actually happen*. We felt pressured and unsure, afraid and misguided. I NEVER agreed to the room how it was used, nonetheless, I will regret the decision to allow it as part of a crisis plan for the rest of my life. It was only in there for a month before I figured out what was going on...but that was a month too long. I may have made a decision...but it certainly wasn't an informed on by any means, but rather one made out of mislead desperation.
