[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 75902, member: 1233"] OK. Spanking is illegal in many states, or at least so frwoned on by Children's Services that you can lose custody of your child. But you can send your child to a school where they can shock him all day long?? :censored:?? I think there is a large body of research showing that aversion therapy (wiht milder bad things) does not work in the long run. B F Skinner has been shown to be an ineffective, unefficient way to change behaviors. My difficult child does not respond to pain. He registers it differently than the rest of us. And if it is used to change behaviors he will challenge you to hurt him severely. This is why we stopped using it at a young age, after a very short trial suggested by a highly recommended therapist. This school is barbaric and horrific. The operators, teachers, whatever, would be in JAIL if they were parents. How do they get away with this?? I think this is allowed because these are kids nobody really wants. This is just criminal and mind blowing. I will be emailing my support Occupational Therapist (OT) close the school. Susie [/QUOTE]
