American Special Education by Gerard Giordano
This book is an account of the epic struggle for special education in America's schools. It chronicles the actions of community leaders, families, caregivers, instructors, physicians, scientists, lawyers, judges, lawmakers, businesspersons, journalists, social activists, and persons with disabilities. It details the creation of facilities in which special learners would be safe, productive, independent, respected, and self-fulfilled. The book discusses techniques for assessing the presence, scope, and etiology of disabilities. Finally, American Special Education describes novel, sometimes expensive, and frequently controversial interventions, and places each development within the remarkable confluence of social and political circumstances that propelled the transformation of special education.
Giordano, Gerard: - Local author and former Arizona Collection librarian for the Phoenix Public Library, Gerard Giordano illustrates the story of reclamation on the Verde River. Giordano has gathered images from a variety of sources, including the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, the River of Time Museum, the Phoenix Public Library, the Library of Congress, and others to weave together this historical tapestry.
