Major achievements

During his tenure as an assistant doctor in Montessori (1896~ 1898), his main responsibility was to treat children with mental retardation. At that time, Italy put mentally retarded children and mental patients in an insane asylum. There are no toys in the room, even nothing for children to grasp and operate; Managers have a bad attitude and don't organize any activities at all

Montessori expressed deep sympathy for the situation of these children. Through observation and research, she deeply feels that this kind of medical treatment can only accelerate the mental decline of children. From then on, she became interested in the treatment and education of mentally retarded children and was determined to help them with her wisdom.
