"Even if things have happened like this to your child, the adult was doing what they were trained to do; what they were told to do; what they believed they needed to do. And quite frankly, if you don't know another solution, it just doesn't exist." Join Rebecca and Ginger as they sit down with Guy Stephens, the founder and executive director of the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint (AASR). Today we talk about doing exactly what the title says: eliminating all use of restraint, seclusion, suspension, expulsion, & corporal punishment in schools. Do you find yourself frowning and/or questioning a little about this idea? Then this episode is for you! AASR is a non-profit community of over 25,000 parents, self-advocates, teachers, school administrators, paraprofessionals, attorneys, related service providers, and others working together to influence change in supporting children whose behaviors are often misunderstood. Guy Stephens is a national expert on the issue of restraint and seclusion.  If you like this episode and the whole resilience-building conversation, be sure to join us at Bridging to Resilience 2023: ⁠https://www.essdack.org/b2r23⁠ And you can always learn more about the work that Rebecca, Ginger, and the whole ESSDACK Resilience Team does over at ⁠https://www.essdack.org/resilience⁠
