What the petition asks
These do not work and can be damaging for the mental health of children on the Autistic Spectrum.
Children with ASD find it particularly difficult to cope with isolation booths, which are often used in "positive discipline systems" in schools. Some suffer mental breakdown, depression and anxiety, and ultimately refuse to attend school.
