A day of inquiry: The rise of special education in America

"The thesis of this work is that Special Education in America has definite origins at the turn of the century. It was born within the National Education Association as oral methodology deaf educators struggled against the monopoly which manual deaf educators had in the field of deaf education in America. ""Special Education"" was in part a strategy for gaining that foothold in education. It proved to be a strategy with far reaching consequences."
