Sonda do inštitucionalizovanej starostlivosti o zrakovo znevýhodnenú mládež na Slovensku v medzivojnovom období s dôrazom na ústav v Levoči

A groundbreaking study reveals the significant role of institutional care for visually impaired youth in interwar Czechoslovakia, with a focus on the Czechoslovak State Institute in Levoča. This research highlights the comprehensive social and health care provided to this vulnerable group, emphasizing education as a crucial component for their future integration. The study meticulously analyzes the organizational structure and daily life within three key institutions: the Czechoslovak State Institute in Levoča, the Institute for the Blind in Báhon, and the Private Craft Institute for the Blind in Prešov. Notably, the Institute in Levoča stands out as a pivotal institution that offered both care and education, addressing critical gaps in Slovak historiography regarding social-health care for the visually impaired.
