Handicrafts for the Handicapped (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Handicrafts for the Handicapped<br><br>In a former volume, "The Work of Our Hands," the authors have studied the advance which has been made along industrial lines in the hospitals and asylums of this country. The present volume is intended as a text book of a few crafts which have proved to be of special value to handicapped workers outside the institutions. The directions given are elaborate and detailed as far as possible so that the individual worker may be able to study out and practice a vocation for himself. The book will also be found of value to crafts workers who are dealing with handicapped labor in the various institutions; and in the private practice of physicians who realize that a patient at work is a patient half cured.<br><br>The subject of occupation for the handicapped has fortunately received an increasing amount of consideration in the past few years.<br><br>About the Publisher<br><br>Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
