Abstract: The importance of preschool education has long been recognized by educational authorities and conferences concerning education of the deaf. The reported consensus was that early identification, preschool training, and parental counseling are not only essential for a child developing to his capacity, but that the effect of the lack of specialized preschool training is intensified as the handicapped child increases in chronological age. Deaf children in Guilford County, North Carolina were offered no preschool educational training prior to September, 1967. The alternatives offered were unsatisfactory, thus plans were formulated for the development of PATH School, Inc.
