Peter Schnurman, Fordham University

Abstract

The New York Service for the Orthopedically Handicapped (New York Service) has pioneered for the past sixty years in providing services to orthopedically handicapped individuals. It has been a pioneer in the sense that it has not only provided services, but has attempted to develop and initiate new ways of helping the handicapped "fulfill his potential and demonstrate to the community that disabled persons are human beings with normal drives, intelligence and often great capacity to lead socially useful and productive lives."
