Hi, it's Lizzie. My paper on the history of the education of the blind is due on the fourth of January. I have been researching for months, and I can't find a good article online. This project is extremely irritating, but I have to do it. If you do know any information that is good, can you say your first and last name so I can source the information? Thanks. PS, I know that it might not be good to be giving out info on the internet, but I think I wouldn't want to copy anyone's knowledge down without sourcing it propperly.
Well, I can't shed too much light personally, but I can tell you I did one google search and found several articles on the subject. The perkins school has a museum website that appears to have several articles on blind education, as does the NFB. I typed history of blind education into google and got several results that looked promising. You might start there.
Thank you so much! That really helps me! I'm going to try it out.
_grimaces* why research such a hard to research subject? *sigh* don't you know there's relatively little on disabilities?
well I guess it's true, but at least I found an article on the history of braille. I think that is a key thing because that goes in with learning how to read. I just wish it was a more brod topic, such as the history of blind people and how they lived back then. I bet most of them back then went to the poor farms.
yeah, well, that's just it there's not a lot of research which is sad. I was thinking of researching some form of blindness and how bblind kids are more interesting the sheltered ones and then, I am like meh, probably there's no studies on that people aren't intereste! I can't do that won't find anything. I mean there's stuff about racism, about gender differences, about all sorts of other things in the civil rights movement but when have you ever seen something big on disabilities? I haven't really, and my least favorite is civil right movies no mention of the ada talks about absolutely all sorts of civil rights but the ada talk is just not there.
I agree with you when you say that it is sad that there are really no research articles on this topic.
