Speech and Language
Can anyone tell me how people with speech and language problems were treated years ago. I am trying to find information for a presentation on how people were treated then and how they are treated now. It is easy to find information on how they are treated now but not then.

Although she had further reaching disabilities than just speech you might want to read up on Helen Keller, who was deaf, dumb and blind and yet managed an extraordinary career and led to perceptions changing which lead to drastic improvements in the way disabled people were dealt with. Cant be much more help than that I'm afraid:)

You might be better looking at the history of medical/therapy treatments rather than social aspects of treatment � which I assume you mean? This site (is American I�m afraid, but�) lists a number of references that may be of use.
