Description
The article presents a discussion about handicapped people in the United States. In the past, most people have treated the handicapped people, like the blind and the deaf, unfairly. Some saw them as bad omens or cursed by gods. Treatment of the handicapped people started to change in the 18th and 19th centuries when the social systems were created. Soon after, special education was given to handicapped children. The United States only started to fully serve the handicapped after the Second World War. Laws and litigation were established for the benefit of the handicapped people.
