Intellectual Disabled People In The 1930's

Intellectually disabled people were looked down upon in the 1930’s. People saw them as stupid, incapable, and worthless. Their families were also treated poorly because of the conditions their family members were in. It was unfair and inconsiderate. The intellectually disabled were sometimes referred to as “mentally retarded”. During that time, they weren’t given any rights, but today, they are treated better and more equal due to further understanding of their disabilities. They aren't shunned because of their disorder, but rather accepted into society
