In the context of special education, “seclusion rooms” may be referred to by various euphemisms that can sometimes obscure their purpose. These terms can vary in meaning and intent, and their use may depend on the specific practices of a school or district. Parents should ask questions to clarify the purpose and practices associated with these spaces:
- Time-Out Room
- Calm Down Room
- Safe Space
- Behavior Support Room
- Isolation Room
- Quiet Room
- Reflection Room
- De-escalation Room
- Sensory Room (though this can imply a different purpose)
- Crisis Intervention Room
