Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is A. Edouard Seguin

Explanation:

Edouard Seguin was a French physician, although he developed most of his work in the United States, who worked with children with cognitive impairments. He is known as one of the founders of today's special education. In the United States he established several schools for the education and treatment of these children and later on published the educational methods he used in his schools, in a book called Idiocy and its treatment by the Physiological Method.

In his method he stressed the importance of sensorimotor activities as an aid to learning and as a way of making the child as independent as possible, in order for him to function as well as possible in society. His method served as an influence for Maria Montessori's teaching method.
