Seclusion Room #3

When I was a patient (not there) there was laws already in place called patient rights act. Its places like this that patient have rights now and allowed to have a state lawyer if abused or if you feel you don't need medication you can have your case seen. I remember they had a Seclusion room but from the way the other patients and nurses talk it was against the law to force people in there and was never used or something like that. in NY.

Looks like old x-ray exam / radiation room... x-ray radiation back then was not known to be bad.

Flash Cards

Draikar

I remember them, they had them in the mid / late 1980's... The upper southern school I was at had no funds for special -ed so they used "hand me downs" from other schools. The players for these cards were heavy and teal / black or light brown / dark brown color.

Empty Room

I know the feeling all to well, when watching the sun pass across the floor gets too boring and looking out the windows is just too sad we would walk around "speed walking". (I was never here but another place years ago).
