Description: The treatment of children with disabilities has varied widely through time and within different cultures across the globe. The History of Education: Education of the Handicapped presents monographs focused on the blind, deaf, and dumb, in addition to other disabilities--including those children described as "backward," "feeble-minded," and "defective." Children labeled in such ways faced numerous challenges in accessing education. Nevertheless, private citizens, professional educators, and advocate groups worked to bring education to this underserved population. Derived from Primary Source Media's History of Education, a retrospective monograph collection on microfiche, the collection includes more than 150 monographs produced by some of the leading educators and advocates during the long nineteenth century. The collection offers works in the German language, reflecting the enormous contribution to educational philosophy of nineteenth-century German scholars; works in English and Romance languages also appear. Noted authors in the collection include Michael Anagnostopoulos, Alexander Graham Bell, and Daniel Gottlieb Moritz Schreber. Titles in The History of Education: Education of the Handicapped span the period from the eighteenth century to 1915 and provide a window into the attitudes toward and methods of treatment of children with disabilities.
Notes: Date range of documents: 1800-1920.
