This is a “”“school”“” that makes “pray away the gay” camps look like lovely vacation experiences. They primarily cater to families with neurodivergent kids under the guise of helping them learn how to function in a neurotypical society. They use methods like GEDs to administer electric shocks when students “act up”, long-term restraints (which the students have to carry with them in case they have to be “conditioned”), solitary confinement, sensory deprivation and food deprivation. I’d highly recommend reading the entire article, especially the parts about behavioral modification, controversies, litigation, and work culture. It’s so much worse than you can imagine. I wanted to quote parts of the article to highlight how bad it is, but I would be copying and pasting half the article.

This place is still in operation.

    The boy was later hospitalized with third degree burns and acute stress disorder, but no action was taken against any of the staff as neither the law nor JRC policy had been broken.

    How the fuck is “burning a child to the third degree while he screams in pain” not breaking any law?!
