Senate Introduces Bill Limiting Restraints, Seclusion

On Special Education

A U.S. Senate bill filed late last week would limit physical restraint and locked seclusion of students—measures often used with students with disabilities who are considered out of control, harmful to themselves or others, or in need of being calmed.

Iowa Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin’s “Keeping All Students Safe Act,” matches a bill filed by Rep. George Miller, D-Calif., in April. The U.S. House has previously passed the bill, but it wasn’t taken up by the Senate.
