The U.S. Department of Education Office of Civil Rights released a detailed survey on the use of restraint and seclusion in K-12 schools to address the possible inappropriate use of thee procedures.&nbsp;&nbsp;The survey was in part a response to a previous GAO report that flagged the significant absence or reliable data collection on the use of these procedures (Nowicki, J. 2020).&nbsp;&nbsp;This survey also makes available detailed school district and school level data at&nbsp;<strong>ocrdata.ed.gov<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The survey also provides the following summary of the use of physical restraint, seclusion and mechanical restraint.&nbsp;&nbsp;Under the CRDC, physical restraint is a personal restriction that immobilizes or reduces the ability of a student to move his or her torso, arms, legs, or head freely. Mechanical restraint is the use of any device or equipment to restrict a student\u2019s freedom of movement. Seclusion is the involuntary confinement of a student alone in a room or area from which the student is physically prevented from leaving.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Students with disabilities make up 13% of the total student enrollment in U.S. schools. They account for 80% of students subjected to physical restraint, 41% to mechanical restraints, and 77% to seclusion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Forty-eight percent of students with disabilities are white.&nbsp;&nbsp;They account for 52% of the students subjected to physical restraint, 33% to mechanical restraints, and 60% to seclusion.&nbsp;&nbsp;Black students are 1.3 times more likely to experience physical restraints and 2.8 times more likely to experience mechanical restraints than white students.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eighteen percent of students with disabilities are Black.&nbsp;&nbsp;They account for 26% of the students subjected to physical restraint, 34% to mechanical restraints, and 22% to seclusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Twenty-seven percent of students with disabilities are Hispanic.&nbsp;&nbsp;They account for 14% of the students subjected to physical restraint, 28% to mechanical restraints, and 9% to seclusion.&nbsp;&nbsp;It appears that Hispanic students experience these procedures at lower rates than Whit and Black students.This survey suggests somewhat widespread use of these procedures and possible inequity in their application.&nbsp;&nbsp;Much more analysis needs to be completed to answer these critical questions fully.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Citation(s):&nbsp;<\/strong>Nowicki, J.
