A young child stands inside a seclusion room in an Edmonton school. The child's face is blacked out, and they are wearing a white ball cap, pink shirt, dark leggings and pink rubber boots. The room has white, bare walls and a yellow and white floor. The beige door has a locking mechanism on the outside of the room. There is a small window at the top of the door for a person to peer inside the room.

Advocates for students with disabilities are angry and frustrated by the Edmonton public school board’s plan to build 25 more seclusion rooms in the face of a promise to phase out the spaces.
