The Huffington Post published an editorial from Ukeru Systems’ Bonnie Zampino, highlighting the problems with restraint use and offering solutions.  Bonnie, who is both the mother of a child with autism and an engagement specialist with Ukeru Systems, was inspired to write the article following recent public outcry over a viral video showing a Kentucky school official putting an eight-year-old child in handcuffs.

Bonnie’s article offers links to many studies and data sources highlighting the serious risks associated with the use of restraints, especially with children.  You can view the full editorial here.
