The History of Special Education: A Struggle for Equality in American Public Schools (Growing Up: History of Children and Youth)

"Robert L. Osgood examines the history of the school lives of children placed in formal or informal special education settings in American public schools during the last 120 years." "This work describes and interprets the nature and characteristics of special education. It carefully examines the human aspects of identification and placement; the nature of work and play in the classroom; the relationships among students, teachers, administrators, and parents involved in the process; the status and relation of children with disabilities to their non-disabled peers in various school settings; and the impact of school experiences on the lives of these children beyond school."--Jacket.
