Ruth Sinkiewicz-Mercer wroter her autobiography with the help of Atty. Steven Kaplan in 1979 and it chronicled her years at Belchertown State School. Ruth had cerebral palsy and her parents sent her to BSS in the mid-1950's where she was immediately admitted to the infirmary which was the only building that had wheelchair access. Her wheelchair, however, was taken away from her and she was placed in a bed where she remained for the majority of her time at BSS.
