History of Special Education

Margaret Winzer

This book takes us from a monastery in 16th-century Spain to banquets solely for Deaf people in 19th-century France; from the presses of an American activist newspaper for Deaf students to the founders of deaf education in Russia and to the present day. Additionally, research provides evidence for the previously unaccredited determination of Deaf people in establishing education, employment, and social structures common throughout the Northern Hemisphere.
