The Arc of Pennsylvania was one of nearly 200 advocacy groups that signed a letter calling on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban the use of devices that administer electric shocks to address behavior issues in individuals with disabilities. It has been almost eight years since the FDA proposed an initial rule change banning the devices, but the rule has never been finalized.
