A thing intended for good can be used badly. Sensory breaks are a good thing,

forced isolation a bad thing. It is all a fine line. There are other options.

In the past children get to bounce on a small trampoline, ride bicycles in the

hallway, test in rooms alone. all supported good things. a seclusion room used

for punishment is bad because it reinforces negative behavior. If I want quiet

I need to be bad. Can be used to avoid, work or situations that are less

preferable. Or worse I am bad I derserve this room. If it is a choice it is a

good thing

Boy none of these things is implemented in a supportive way
