Author Description

There was a time when mentally retarded children were considered to be clumsy, drooling and helpless. Various dehumanizing trends are used in the past such as idiocy, feeble-minded, moron, etc. Recently we have realized that this is simply not true. With most advanced methods of educational and vocational training, we find that retarded people are capable of leading more independent lives than was presumed before. Education makes an individual not to remain as parasite on society. Realizing this, the Government of India has implemented education as a fundamental light to every citizen. This book ' Special Education' aims to enable the reader/student to understand the concepts, objectives and methods of special education.
