Up next: seclusion rooms in Alberta schools. They're supposed to be banned as of next week, but four school boards say they need the option to isolate students. What's your experience with seclusion rooms? Call 1-866-468-4422 12-12:30 @InclusionAB 12:30-1:00 @maryltmartin

Italy banned “special” schools back in the 70’s. I’m read some cities in Canada are trying it out. Here in Australia, we still have special schools. My son’s school is “better” at being “inclusive” because they have a “special” unit where certain kids can be segregated to.
