 In
the Name of Treatment
A Parent's Guide to Protecting Your Child From the Use of Restraint,
Aversive Interventions, and Seclusion
| VISION All children with disabilities should
grow up free from the use of restraint, seclusion, and aversive
interventions to respond to or control their behavior, and from
the fear that these forms of behavior management will be used on
themselves, their siblings or their friends. |
This publication was developed by APRAIS, with editorial assistance and
funding support from the founding organizations. Photographs have been
contributed by the families of children who have been harmed by the use of
restraint, aversive interventions, and seclusion, and are used with their
permission. This publication is dedicated to the memory of Matthew Goodman
(1987-2002) and to all those children who continue to be abused and to die
“in the name of treatment.”
