What she did for the education system

Before Bancroft, special need children were not able to attend schools

They had no rights really and were often times treated as hopeless or unteachable

People with special needs were able to not only recieve an education but also gained a lot of rights and more independence

She showed that isolating special needs children does not help them learn.

She changed the way children & adults with disabilities are viewed by people

She showed that with proper teaching these students can be successful

She thought that these children needed specialized and individual attention

created a school for special needs children
