Hi Dawn, I actually feel the same way about

restraining these kids but I have seen them injure

themselves if they werent.I have been watching the

kids I cant see it coming. Its snap in one second and

they are jumping accross the lunch table swinging and

kicking.If they did not restrain him then what, hes

gonna hurt himself.One kid was smiling at me with eye

contact and I was so pleased, told me he was good and

in a second just went off.There balance is off and

they fall, slip, and flop around.They try to get them

out to playground if it gets really bad.In the winter

they use the gymn.They do not restrain Mic, Mic is

little,I do not know how I will feel if it comes to

that.But, I am seeing desparate parents crying are now

smiling after about 6 months.Me too.And kids that

never smiled and said hi smiling and interacting with

me.I wish I had the answers.I think the sensory room

is a really great idea. Laurie
