It was particularly surprising to me to see the percentage of kids restrained during the 2007-08 school year that were diagnosed as emotionally disturbed, as opposed to other neurological impairments.
Advocates say a lot of so-called "ED" special education students are suffering from post traumatic stress disorder -- kids like Cedric Napoleon.
