After a few minutes in the boy's room, we turned to enter D's room across the hall. I knew she was 13 and so prepared to find the stereotypical room of a teenager. D is deaf. Kimberly described her as "a little slow."
Her room left me feeling uneasy as well. The walls were bare, peeling in places, marred in others. The one piece of furniture, a small dresser, was smeared with writing, none of which I could make out. Two mattresses - one bare, both quite dirty - were on the floor. There was nothing about this room that said 13-year-old girl: no teen throb posters, action hero photos, hair products, nail polish, books, magazines. There was not one thing to indicate a young teen slept here.

all that care and attention lavished on the severely disabled daughter and her living space. What of their other children?? I am angry. So angry.
