In The Name of Treatment 

  A Parent's Guide to Protecting Your Child From the Use of Restraint, Aversive Interventions, and Seclusion 

VISION All children with disabilities should grow up free from the use of restraint, seclusion, and aversive interventions to respond to or control their behavior, and from the fear that these forms of behavior management will be used on themselves, their siblings or their friends.

This publication was developed by APRAIS, with editorial assistance and funding support from the founding organizations. Photographs have been contributed by the families of children who have been harmed by the use of restraint, aversive interventions, and seclusion, and are used with their permission. This publication is dedicated to the memory of Matthew Goodman (1987-2002) and to all those children who continue to be abused and to die “in the name of treatment.”

In the Name of Treatment: A Parent's Guide to Protecting Your Child from Restraint, Aversive Interventions, and Seclusion is available here in Adobe Reader format. (.pdf)
