Disabled Children

'an impressive array of essays analyzing the experiences of disabled children in Western nations that span a nearly one-hundred-and-thirty-year period ... These essays can teach historians much about creation and maintenance of disability definitions.' Journal of the History of Medicine and Allied Sciences 'This is an impressively wide-ranging volume - thematically, chronologically, and geographically. It significantly adds to our understanding of the complex history of the care of disabled children and will be a necessary starting point for future research in the field'. John Stewart, Glasgow Caledonian University 'a welcome addition to the literature on lived disability and opens up a new area of previously unexplored territory for scholars from a wide range of disciplines.' Social History of Medicine 'This is a timely and interesting edited collection which examines disabled children's interaction with medical and educational services.' H-Net Review
