Senator Chris Dodd (D-CT), a senior member of the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions and the Chairman of its Subcommittee on Children and Families, joined members of the National Disability Rights Network (NDRN) to announce a new national report on the inappropriate use of seclusion and restraint on students in American schools. Dodd, a longtime supporter of measures to limit the practices of seclusion and restraint, was joined by the NDRNs Executive Director Curt Decker, members of NDRN, and three Connecticut residents whose loved ones were physically restrained or placed in seclusion while attending school.
