Is This the Last Resort?

The judge rotenberg centre has been criticised for its treatment of children with behavioural problems. The facility was supported by a significant number of parents who, as always, argued that the facility was a matter of last resort for their kids. In making this case, flamia's lawyer offered up the argument that absolutely no other treatment had worked for these kids. That is, again, extremely common, this line of argument. They've tried everything. This is the last resort. And they site some science that makes the situation seem much more muddled as to whether or not this is best.
