A Critical Overview of the Use of Restraints in Educational Settings
A half-century ago, the United States Congress passed Public Law 94-142, the Education for All Handicapped Children Act , to help protect the rights of youth with disabilities.

Unfortunately, the increased placement of students with EBD within public schools coincided with an increased use of h…
Policy and Program Considerations for Choosing Crisis Intervention Programs
Recently there has been national media attention focusing on the number of deaths and injuries associated with the use of physical restraint and seclusion procedures in schools.

Medication Treatment for Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has become the most commonly diagnosed psychiatric disorder among school-age children. For more than half a century, physicians have prescribed medications to help manage behaviors such as hyperactivity, impulsivity, and inattention.

Americans With Disabilities Act Amendments of 2008
During the past decade, the U.S. Supreme Court has ruled on three cases, generally referred to as the “Sutton trilogy,” that sharply narrowed the scope of Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) protection. Specifically, the Court ruled that mitigating and/or corrective measures must be taken into account in determining whether an individual is eligible for protection under the ADA. The authors briefly review the Sutton trilogy case law, summarize …
High-Stakes Testing and Students With Disabilities: Challenges and Promises
The use of high-stakes testing has become an increasingly popular assessment for schools to use in demonstrating individual academic performance of students, and providingaccountability for school improvement. Given the potential negative consequences associated with mandatory testing (e.g., grade retention, withholding of high school diplomas, labeling failing schools), students, parents, and school districts all bear significant risks based upo…
