Outline of Final Research Achievements

The focus of this research is early 20th century Canada, a country which, today, has achieved a measure of success as an inclusive society. At that time, debate between specialists concerning public health was intensifying. It was also a period in which both institutes for people with intellectual disabilities as well as training classes in public schools coexisted as separate care institutions for young children with intellectual disabilities, while at the same time expanding. In facilities for people with intellectual disabilities, the first half of the 1920s marked the adoption of goals of permanent care and in-facility independence for the purposes of achieving efficient operation. However, at the end of the 1920s, a policy to facilitate the reintroduction of some residents back into the community was attempted.
