Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the remarkable life and achievements of Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, a pioneer in deaf-mute education. The author takes us back to the early 19th century, a time when deaf individuals faced severe isolation and limited opportunities for learning. Gallaudet's journey began with his encounter with Alice Cogswell, a young girl in Hartford, Connecticut, who lost her hearing due to illness. Inspired by her plight and the lack of resources for deaf individuals, Gallaudet embarked on a mission to Europe, where he studied the methods of deaf-mute instruction pioneered by the AbbÃÂ Sicard. Upon his return, he established the American Asylum for the Deaf in Hartford, a groundbreaking institution that became a model for deaf education throughout the nation. The book delves into the historical context of deaf-mute instruction, tracing its development in Europe and examining the evolution of sign language and teaching methodologies. The author highlights Gallaudet's unwavering commitment to providing education and opportunities for this marginalized group, emphasizing the importance of religious faith and personal piety as guiding principles in his work. Gallaudet's legacy extends beyond the establishment of the American Asylum. He was also a passionate advocate for general education reform, particularly for the professional training of teachers and the advancement of female education. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into a pivotal era of social progress and the transformative impact of one man's dedication to a cause that has touched countless lives.
