Question

Which of the following is true regarding deaf and blind children in the 1800s? (1 point)

Answer 1

A will be the correct answer. Deaf and Blind children were required to live in group homes or institutions. At the same time, mentally disable children were also confined to live in these institutions. Even though, there is not much information or records available about how life was in these places, many historians agree that living conditions were very bad and children feared to go to these group homes.

On the other hand, deaf and Blind children apparently feared much better than those with mental disabilities. At least these institutions with Blind and Deaf children tried to be more organized, and kept a good educational objective as well as function. They also worked hard to avoid becoming warehouses for those less fortunate children discarded by society.

The groups of Deaf and Blind children were relatively small, and the directors of the institutions made special programs for these children that were very simple and clear to obtain good results.
