I The History of Disabilities

It has been said that those who forget history are destined to repeat it. Take the time to become knowledgeable about the history of disability. We have provided a link to an excellent resource developed by the Minnesota Governor's Council on Developmental Disabilities called Parallels in Time. The resource will educate you about the history of society's treatment of persons with developmental disabilities and can enhance your understanding of societal progress of disability.

A. History of the Disability Movement
