(An Insight into the Institutionalized Care of Visually Impaired Youth in Slovakia in the Inter-war Period with Emphasis on the Institution in Levoča) – PDF
Abstract: The study presents the results of research focused on institutional care for visually impaired youth in Slovakia during the interwar Czechoslovakia. The text analyzes the social and health care for the visually impaired in general, the problems of institutional care and the association that focused its activity on this group of the population. The work further describes in more detail the organization and life of several Slovak institutes – namely the Czechoslovak State Institute in Levoča, the Institute for the Blind in Báhon and the Private Craft Institute for the Blind in Prešov. The Institute in Levoča was an important institution for the visually impaired. The institute provided the inmates with adequate care and especially education – so necessary for further application in life. Research of this issue is significant, as the topic of social and social-health care for persons handicapped in a certain way has not yet been processed in Slovak historiography.
