She was interested in studying the works of two doctors, Jean Itard and Edouard Seguin, who were famous for their works on handicapped children.

While people were so impressed with the success of my students with special needs, I was so amazed that even the normal children remained at such a poor level of education.
Therefore, I concluded that the methods that succeeded with the handicapped, if they were used with ordinary children, there is no doubt that they will succeed resoundingly.
