For children with disabilities before the 1970s and '80s, "a lot of them, I think [the Muscatatuck institution] would be the only chance for any education at all." In local communities, "they weren't invited to the school, they were invited not to be in the school." At Muscatatuck, "we had a principal, we had teachers, you know we had a school program."
This video contains excerpts from audio recordings of three interviews with former staff and family of staff who worked at Muscatatuck State School, later called Muscatatuck State Developmental Center. The speakers describe what school was like for children placed there in the 1950s, '60s, and '70s. Some children with disabilities who lived with their families also attended school at Muscatatuck because the local public schools would not accept them. Interviewees mention classroom challenges for teachers, punishment of students that could be very severe, and positive experiences some students had who participated in a music program. The interviews were conducted between 2003 and 2005.

Her brother went to Central State Hospital in Indianapolis when Erika was about 11 years old. In 2013, Erika visited the Indiana State Archives to discover what happened to her brother while living at Central State. Erika says, “The stuff I saw would turn my stomach.” One piece of information she found was a checklist with the number of times her brother was tied up. There were days where he was tied up longer than he was not tied up. Today, Erika says her brother lives with two housemates and has a full life.
