Summary
In Snow, plaintiff was under three years of age when he was admitted to the Willowbrook State School, an institution where the "patients" received continuous medical and psychological treatment, where plaintiff's record resembled a hospital or medical record rather than a school report, and where payment for treatment was made under his father's medical plan. Plaintiff was deaf, but his condition was not diagnosed.
