Yes, this is a real way to treat people with disabilities, invented by Vileyanur Ramachandran, Professor of Psychology and neurophysiology at Califronia University and one of the world's leading neurophysiologists.
In 2003, Ramachandran was entrusted with the honor of delivering the annual Reith Lecture (every year a leading scientist gives a popular introduction to his subject area for non-specialists, lectures are broadcast by the BBC to the whole of Britain on radio and television; the tradition continues since 1948). As a result of this lecture, in the same year he published the book “The Birth of Reason”, which became a bestseller and has now been translated into more than 30 different languages. It was published in Russian in 2006 and is now a second-hand rarity. Fortunately, it is available online in electronic form. In 2010, Ramachandran published another book, The Brain Tells. In 2012, it was published in Russian.
