The National Autistic Society suggest time out and quiet room and that is what happened.
As I pointed out, her parents may not have been able to deal with that situation, so how is a teaching assistant supposed to.

There is nothing on the NAS teacher guidance page about not putting someone in a room. From the info it seems the teaching assistant may have tried things that may have worked, but nothing on the page says that it wouldn't have worked no matter what the circumstances and shouldn't even be tried and yet she is being hounded for it.
