Club fights electric shock therapy
Students at Brandeis recently formed an activist group to protest the use of aversive therapy and electric skin shocks on students at the Judge Rotenberg Center, a school for children with special needs located in Canton, Mass.The school serves both "students with conduct, behavior, emotional, and/or psychiatric problems" as well as "students with autistic-like behaviors," according to the State Senate's Web site.Representatives are trying to move up hearings on the issue to January in order to have aversive therapy banned."Our group's mission is essentially to get the [Rotenberg] Center investigated and to get the use of electric shocks stopped," said Nathan Robinson '11, the founder of the Massachusetts students united against the Judge Rotenberg Center.The Boston Globe reported last May that there were several failed attempts to shut down the judicial Center and its use of electric shocks as a method of disciplining students, as judges sided with parents who defended the Center's actions.
