Margret Winzer has put side by side the historical study of disability and of special schooling and service provision with reference to broader social systems, protocols, and practices. She documents how prevailing emotional and intellectual climates influence disability and schooling while also considering the social, political, and ideological factors that affect educational theory and practice.--[book cover].
