Synopsis
In the first decade of the 20th century, the state of Massachusetts established itself as a leader in the education of individuals with disabilities. The third state school for the feebleminded was built in rural Belchertown, in the western part of the state. Opened in 1915, Belchertown State School would eventually encompass almost 900 acres of land and would become the largest employer in town. For nearly 60 years, the state school educated individuals with disabilities who were otherwise excluded from public education, training the "residents" to become independent members of their families and of society. The model was a success until reports of abuse and neglect began to surface, culminating in the landmark 1972 Ricci v. Greenblatt case, which ultimately led to the state school's closure in 1992. The state school's rich history, maintained and curated by the late Donald LaBrecque, chronicles the rise of special education and developmental services and the ultimate collapse of the state school system., In the first decade of the 20th century, the state of Massachusetts established itself as a leader in the education of individuals with disabilities.

- u***o (489)- Feedback left by buyer.Past yearVerified purchaseThis book was shipped quickly and arrived in very good condition! When I became a psychologist in the Department of Pediatrics at UMass Medical Center in 1979, my colleague suggested that we visit Belchertown State School. I have never forgotten that visit. It was shocking, with naked patients strapped in chairs, and a back ward with patients wandering around and screaming. I am really looking forward to reading this book.
