Answer:
Prior to the twentieth century, social attitudes held that people with disabilities were unhealthy, defective, and deviant. For centuries, society as a whole regarded these people with fear and pity. The prevailing attitude was that such individuals were incapable of participating in or contributing to society and that they must rely on welfare or charitable organizations.
Prior to the late 1800s, people with mental retardation, cerebral palsy, autism, and/or epilepsy were generally cared for at home by their families. Life expectancy for severely and profoundly disabled people was not always as long as it is now.
Beginning in the late 1800s, state and local administrative agencies built institutions to house people with developmental disabilities. These institutions were typically constructed on the outskirts of towns. This segregating management style was fostered by societal attitudes. Unfortunately, isolating people from society further stigmatizes them.
