Ep 86: Alliance Against Seclusion & Restraint with Guy Stephens

Guy Stephens is the Founder and Executive Director of the Alliance Against Seclusion and Restraint. First we discuss what restraint and seclusion in schools looks like, the origins of behvior in individuals, and the work that AASR does. The heart wrenching part of the episode is the stories of kids who have suffered under these archaic actions. The inspiration is in the work AASR has and still is doing, and the ways that families can seek help or offer it.
