The Florida School of Deaf and Blind(FSDB) is located in St. Augustine, Florida and was established in 1882 by Thomas Coleman. This school has had a positive impact on the Deaf community with being one of the first schools in the state of Florida. FSDB has been named as one of the top deaf and blind schools in the nation; with a lot of well-known individual graduates. FSDB, I believe is very well off considering they start with pre-k and go all the way up to teaching young adults. From reading on their website, they take this school very seriously with “high qualified teachers who hold dual certification in both education of students who are deaf/hard of hearing or blind/visually impaired, and in their specific academic content areas” (http://www.fsdb.k12.fl.us/).

Also 1876 was the year that increased the number of Americans moving to the West. The 1876 election was immnesilt important as well, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes and SAmuel J. Tilden were in a very close election.

    However, Kisor’s parents are not deaf, and so end up providing him with resources that assimilate him into the hearing world. With such integration, Kisor’s book really becomes about how hearing parents can raise a deaf child who is, by society’s definition, successful in the hearing world. To begin, Kisor’s parents had the option of placing him in a school for the deaf.

    Introduction Special education has made significant changes over the past years, partly due to the fact that people have stood up and made a change for the better toward children with disabilities. Children are no longer put into segregated hospitals and left to die and forgotten about. Children for many years were labeled as unlovable and a disgrace and hid away from society. Parents were faced with humiliation and public scorning for having a child with a disability and lived in fear. People are now more widely educated and have advanced over the past century to include children with disabilities as part of society and not simply a disgrace to be swept under the rug.…
