Focusing on the education of disabled children in Boston during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, the study highlights the city's role as a national leader in developing specialized programs. It examines various initiatives, including intermediate schools, ungraded classes, and groundbreaking services for deaf and mentally disabled students established between 1908 and 1913. Osgood analyzes the relationships between these programs and the evolving patterns of integration and segregation in special education, contributing to contemporary discussions on inclusion.
