  • Summary

  • Disability rights activists are engaging in a renewed effort to ban an aversive therapy — electric shock therapy — that, despite being condemned as torture by the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture, is still practiced at the Judge Rotenberg Center in Canton, Massachusetts. The center is a day and residential school for students with intellectual disabilities.

    Contributing writer Darin Zullo joins us on The Scope Podcast to discuss his article “Self-advocates lead movement against Judge Rotenberg Center’s controversial skin shocks.”

    Zullo won a Best of SNO award for his article, which you can read at thescopeboston.org.

    This episode was produced, hosted, and edited by Rebeca Pereira with reporting by Darin Zullo.

    Music from Mattc90, striptheband, and smethng through freesound.org.
