Overview

Assistance, Traitement et Éducation des Enfants Idiots et Dégénérés, by Désiré Magloire Bourneville, presents a detailed report delivered to the Congrès National d'assistance Publique in Lyon, June 1894. This historical document offers insights into the assistance, treatment, and education of children labeled as 'idiots' and 'degenerate' during the late 19th century in France. Bourneville's report provides a valuable, albeit potentially controversial by modern standards, perspective on the prevailing attitudes and methodologies used in the care of mentally disabled children during this era. It serves as a significant primary source for understanding the historical context of special education, medical understanding of mental disabilities, and social welfare practices in France. This work is essential for historians, educators, and anyone interested in the evolution of care and treatment for individuals with developmental differences.
