Electric Shock Torture is Being Used Against Autistic Students

By: Holly Ji

Located in Massachusetts, the Judge Rotenberg Center (JRC) is a facility for children and adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including many autistic people. The institution uses an electric shock device, an electrical stimulation device (ESD), for punishment against “bad behaviors”.

Eva’s capstone project, described by Eva;

My page is about understanding the social inequalities of shaker heights. Holistically, shaker heights succeeds national standards in

average income, health insurance, and poverty percentage. However, this affluence does not apply to all of our community. IN my

project I use public 202 cencus data to find this divide. I also investigate the history of shaker heights to understand why this has

happened.
