INTRODUCTION.
Before the I 8th Century nothing much was known about the history of the mentally handicapped children, but in the I 8th century, the concept of educational was by monks. According to Laylansky (1954 ), the Greeks and the Romans were the first persons to identify mentally handicapped people in 449 BC and 1552 BC. In 1798, a physician by name jean Itard decided to educate a mentally handicapped boy named Victor who was found by hunters in Aveyron forest in France. Jean implemented an intensive training programme in teaching Victor basic skills. This made Victor become much more socialized and could then read words like milk and God. This was therefore the starting point for education of the mentally handicapped children.
