The Judge Rotenberg Center is now legally barred from zapping new admissions —  http://www.aspiesforfreedom.com/showthr ... ?tid=23503 ...
However, the existing population (which includes people from age 5 into middle age at least) will continue to receive this form of punishment.[/list]

$16,500 for lobbying? Where did that come from, I wonder? The exec director made ca. $400K in salary and benefits, and their legal bills must be tremendous... so, perhaps a lot of money is saved when extreme aversives are used? or should the school lose their not-for-profit status? When my son was recommended for residential placement JRC sent a "sales team" to my house – several hundred miles away! Their presentation left me thinking about Donkey Island (from Disney's Pinocchio)... prizes, fun, and a very dark reality.Sullivan · November 14th, 2011 19:51:16
Kate Gladstone,

thanks for that! I hadn't seen it. The ASAN letter is now up as a blog post here.
