Disabled protesters target home of HHS Secretary Alex Azar

- From staff and wire reports

Dozens of protesters, many in wheelchair­s, demonstrat­ed Sunday outside the Indianapol­is home of Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar.

ADAPT, a national advocacy group for the disabled, says the protest was meant to draw attention to its claim that shock devices are used on developmen­tally disabled patients at the Judge Rotenberg Educationa­l Center in Canton, Mass., and the Food and Drug Administra­tion has stalled on rules that would end the practice.
