What two postwar issues led to a societal shift in attitudes about Americans with disabilities? What relevance or connection does this shift have to early childhood special education?

What will be an ideal response?


The postwar era saw two basic issues that lead to a changing of attitudes about the need for services for Americans with disabilities. These include (1) the large number of men and women who were deemed unfit for military service and (2) the large number of war veterans returning home with disabilities. The awareness raised due to these two issues brought about an explosion of services at both the state and federal levels. More legislative activity began happening, which lead to more resources, leadership, and political activism for creating and expanding services for special education.
