Description

This comprehensive historical volume traces two centuries of educational transformation for children with disabilities, from 1760 to 1960. Part of Routledge's prestigious International Library of Sociology series, the book documents the profound shift in attitude and practice that redefined how society approached special education. During the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, disabled children were labelled as physically or mentally defective and placed in institutions where they received instruction rather than education. This scholarly work reveals how progressive thinking gradually replaced institutional models with genuine schools and replaced rote instruction with meaningful educational practices. Originally published in 1998, the volume serves as an essential historical resource for sociologists, educators, and anyone studying the evolution of disability services and educational philosophy in Britain and beyond.

Key Features

Part of Routledge's International Library of Sociology series, Volume VIII of twenty-eight volumes dedicated to sociology of education.

Covers two hundred years of historical change from 1760 to 1960, documenting the transformation of attitudes towards disabled children's education.

Examines the shift from institutional models to school-based education and from instruction to comprehensive educational practice.

Explores terminology evolution including how disabled, blind and deaf children were classified and how their educational facilities were named and organised.

Published by Routledge, a leading academic publisher, offering scholarly analysis grounded in sociological research and historical documentation.
