All those abandoned wheelchairs break my heart. There are so many kids and adults in third world countries who could use them, it seems such a waste that they are rusting away in abandoned buildings.

I actually know something about this facility. One of my friends worked here and one of my friends grew up here. Many of the kids here were so severely retarded that they couldn't have been rehabilitated. My friend who worked here said that many were comatose. However, during the depression, they caught some of the overflow from overflowing orphanages. One of my friends was left here with her sister by parents who couldn't feed them. They never returned for the kids and they grew up in this facility. They were normal kids when they were left here. Years of no stimulation and no education took a toll on them.

My son is attending a one-one teaching school where they use these tiles. They are used in the LIPs or Lindamood Bell learning program. The tiles are part of the "vowel circle".

My brother died in Pilgrim State in the mid-70s. He committed suicide. He had been in and out of that place for years. He was only 33 years old. Only my parents know all of the horrors that went on there and thank God they never fully shared them with us. My brother was a wonderful man who had a horrible desease and suffered God only knows what. I only hope others will have a more humane fate.
