Yet earlier you were quick to point out that NAS say what works for one child may not work for another. How much ducking and weaving are you going to do before you simply accept you're arguing for the sake of arguing without actually having a clue what you're talking about?

As I pointed out, her parents may not have been able to deal with that situation, so how is a teaching assistant supposed to.

Total and utter cack. Her parents will be perfectly well able to deal with the situation, because she is seven years old and she is their daughter, whom they know very well. If you're going to 'point out' such things, you need specific evidence. And you don't have any.
The teaching assistant, while she may not have seven years' experience, still has plenty - at least several months' - and should at the very least been aware of her own shortcomings and able to show some evidence that she had communicated them to the school in order to get appropriate training.

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.

She is not being 'hounded'. She has appeared before a formal tribunal and a *judge* has criticised what happened. This is the aspect you seem most keen to ignore. She isn't simply being persecuted here.
