Printed by the Office of State Printing and distributed undei the provisions of the Library Distribution Act 1976 3 Preface When the victims of the rubella epidemic of the 1960swere ready to begin their education, the education community was not prepared to meet their special needs. The teachers who were recruited from the professional ranks of the other disciplines hadno specific expertise in teaching the deaf-blind. Further, information relating to the deaf-blind was limited to the library of the Perkins School for the Blind. The literature available needed to be researched and distributed to the professionals who were responsible for teaching the deaf-blind. This bibliography was compiled to mitigate the drastic effects of that lack of knowledge and information. In 1972 the data were entered into the ERIC system and thus became available from that source. Now, the data have been improved and expanded andare being published in this document to permit a much wider distribution. The publication includes information relating to published works on the education and training of the deaf-blind. The data for the entries in this bibliogrphy were gathered from many sourcesmany of them very old. The authors have endeavored to make each entry as complete and accurateas possible. The publication is divided into three parts. The first part contains annotated bibliographic references to books published by, for, and/or about the deaf-blind. The authors of books referenced in this part relate the story of the deaf-blind from both the specific and general points of view. They represent books published over a period of more than 130 years. In the second part, the authors have annotated articles published in periodicals between theyears 1869 and 1970. Part three contains references to proceedings and reports of conferences and activities of such groups as the American Association of Workers for the Blind and the American Association of Instructors of the Blind.
