Use of Skin-Shock at the Judge Rotenberg Educational Center (JRC) |
"Before Sean was on the GED he was uncontrollable. His behaviors were very dangerous. After using the GED, he became less dangerous, had behaviors less frequently and was more controllable. For anyone that has an autistic child the GED cuts down the probability of them hurting themselves and others. It really takes the trouble out of having to restrain them. Now there doesn't always have to be a conflict. He has learned the difference between consequences and rewards for his behaviors. Once their behaviors are managed they learn to start taking care of themselves."
